A few months ago, when my garden was still under 2 feet of snow, I asked the forum for help in setting up my very first attempt at starting seeds in the house for transplant later. I got lots of good advice from the members here. It's been raining all day today, but I had a few moments to snap a few pics of my progress....
Those are my cherry tomato plants that are over 2 feet tall! Compare that to last year when I bought my 6 packs of tomatoes and those plants, at this time last year, were maybe 4-6 inches tall.
More tomato plants...
Finally, some eggplants and peppers I started in the house...
Those pepper plants are 6-8 inches tall and the eggplants are just over 12 inches tall.
I don't know how the rest of the growing season will turn out, but I figure I'm about 2 months ahead of last year's growth!
Well, just a big thank you to those who took the time to offer their suggestions and encouraged me to try to start my seedlings myself this year. I'm really happy with progress so far.
