I started my tomato and basil seeds on 4 March 2012. The following pictures were taken the night of 8 March 2012. In four days my little tomatoes and basil are up!

Today I was shocked by how fast everything is growing. It seems like they doubled in size overnight, So I had to take more pictures. My husband is starting to think I am crazy.

| My tomatoes today. |
 |
| Tam Jalapenos - they should be a very mild hot pepper. |
 |
| 4-Seasons Lettuce. I have decided that I like growing my lettuce in the egg cartons. They seem really happy and it is so easy to move them around. |
 |
| My Broccoli (Waltham 29) and Cabbage (Early Jersey Wakefeild). They are just starting to put on their first true leaves. This is my second planting - the first ones were part of the plants my Dear Hubby forgot to water. |
 |
| My Tendercrisp Celery. I have never grown celery before so I am happy to see them putting on their first leaves. I will thin them when we get back from our spring break vacation. |

I am so happy with all of my little plants. This is my first year to grow everything from seed and I really did not expect such wonderful results. I know I have a lot to learn (a few lettuces are a little leggy and space is a huge issue) but I am having so much fun.
Happy little plants.
ReplyDeleteLooks like happy and healthy plants :) i find that my letuces do much better when i plant them direct in ground and they grow better but cabbages and broccoli are better on transplant.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get a head start on my lettuce. Once it gets a little warmer I will just start them in the garden.
DeleteFun, isn't it? This is only my fourth year of growing my own seedlings, and I still hold my breath until they're out in the garden and growing!
ReplyDeleteI am having way to much fun with them. I have never had to plan my garden in January and then I started some seeds in February. It really made winter go by fast.
DeleteYour seedlings look great! Your doing an excellent job for a beginner :)
ReplyDeleteThanks So Much!
