Sprouts!

It's still cold here in the Midwest but we're already dreaming about Spring at our house!  

Every year we plant a garden in our tiny yard but this year we've decided to try something new.  We're attempting to grow our plants from seeds.  Yep, seeds.  All of our plants!  From seeds.  Not just the peas and marigolds like other years but the broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes too.

Who knows if we'll succeed but we're excited right now.

The plan was to use empty toilet paper rolls to grow the seedlings but even after saving them for months, we didn't have many.  I ended up buying one of those peat cell trays and some organic seed starting mix to (hopefully) give our heirloom seeds a boost.

Someone thought it would be exciting to try to grow a monster-sized fruit this summer.  Off we grow!

Have you ever grown your garden from seed?  Feel free to pass along any tips you might have. (Please.)

Peace,
