Emerging

I love my corner kitchen sink with its cheery windows, and my seedlings are also loving it! The cauliflower is growing like blazes, the teensy little mint seedlings are filling up their teensy little peat-pot homes, the poblanos are popping through the soil, onions are reaching for the sun, asparagus are sending up delicate shoots, and the eggplants are finally making an appearance.

The blackberries and raspberries have yet to show any signs of life, but round 2 with them will be digging up starts from someone else's patch. The seeds were just an experiment. I will not be daunted!

One more victory - successful transplanting of the cauliflower starts into larger pots (homemade newspaper pots, even) without significant shock and no losses!

Many more seeds to start this weekend, according to my notes-to-self on the calendar. Gardening will be MUCH cheaper if this works and I can get away with buy very few bedding plants from a greenhouse...or perhaps even none at all!

Sounds wonderful! I can't wait to see that cheery little corner sink :) And perhaps eat a salad of delicacies from your wonderful garden.
