You can only take so many photos of the bulbs emerging in spring (Or can you? I may hold the world record at this point).
You can only take so many photos of snow covered grasses (Insert sarcasm here).
You can only take so many photos of the 986 robins that are overtaking the yard (Even I’m worn out at this point).
So what is a desperate gardener/wanna-be photographer to do?
Besides get a second hobby, why not take photos of seedlings started indoors? (I will self-pat on the back for finally accomplishing the task this year). I mean c’mon, is there anything more exciting and captivating? We are talking edge of the seat entertainment here.
We’ve got kale, spinach, lettuce and peas going on:
Have you ever seen anything so amazing? Pretty incredible right?
More snow in the forecast for us the next day or so and I couldn’t be more psyched.
Great minds think alike. I also posted pics of my seedlings yesterday. And I am equally enthused about the snow.
I have two variety of tomatoes up from old seed. I figured if I still had it around after two years, I had better plant them. It seems like free plants now having them so long. They are up and have four leaves on them. Your peas are doing very well. Maybe we can grow them inside as I can see robins pecking on them.
Good job,John…
I used to do this…I have a light table in my basement…
Then…I got weary from the mildew that grows on them…they are hard to “harden off”….hard to transplant…so I gave it up!!!
I found the best things to plant…with the greatest success…were large seeds, like sunflowers, castor beans etc…but…Kudos to you…Keep us posted!!!
Cheers!

That’s awesome! This is the second year I have tried to start seeds myself. MUCH cheaper, if you can get it to work. Last year, my heart wasn’t in it, so they did not do well. This year, I started so many seeds, I now have over 300 plants started. The Zucchini are already 4″ tall w/four leaves, very sturdy. I am bound and determined to make it work this year, no matter what! I don’t know how, but I’m gonna try my a*& off! Not to mention…need to find enough room!
John, In an earlier post on my blog, I asked whomever would read it to be challenged: call your local food pantry or food bank and see if they will take fresh food and if they will, plant more than you will need and take the excess over to the food bank for nourishing fresh stuff for those less fortunate who frequently don’t have access to fresh veggies in the abundance we get for ourselves. Thanks, John, for letting me remind everybody to think of our fellow travelers…
