Some signs of life...

Another short time warp to illustrate the growth of our seedlings.  This year we took a trip to Lee Valley for some gardening supplies, and decided to invest in a grow light.  We opted for a full spectrum ballast, and with some creative rigging were able to create a little grow space in our living room.

The seedlings responded extremely well, we started to see results very quickly!

Light!

Things started growing so quick we had to transplant from the tray to small pots in only a few days! The light has proven to be a great investment, we saw results far beyond what we had last year.  Our home just doesn't get enough sun to grow from seed, this is all part of learning process.

Sprouting!

Well, we're going to have to go back in time here, just early April, so not too far...

 We tried a new soil for the seedlings this year, one with a natural fertilizer comprised of sea plant materials.  Instead of mixing the soil with water and then filling the tray, we added the soil first and then watered, hoping that this would mean a less dense mixture for the sprouts to grow through.

Nico inspected the mixture and approved.

Seeds! Again this year we purchased almost all of our seeds from William Dam.

Labels go on, seeds go in, now we wait...
