tomatoes

I started my tomatoes on March 1st. They sprouted one week later, it is always exciting when they emerge! It is nice to see something green growing, since we still have 2 feet of snow in the yard and it is snowing right now as I write this. Argh!

6:00 pm on March 30th!

brrrrrrrr!



I put them on the hearth of our gas fireplace to sprout. It is warm from the pilot flame and there is a hot water baseboard radiator under the stone hearth.

sprouts after 1 week

this is the next day after they have been under the grow lights

happy little seedlings!

this is what they look like today, only 4 or 5 more months till we have tomatoes!

We were home for a few days and threw in some basil, tomatoes, pumpkin, beets, eggplant and carrots. Maybe a few other things, but can't remember what!
