OK, so I didn't pay close enough attention in Latin class back in High School...

Here is what the final product of almost an hour's worth of work with a tweezers ends up looking like.  Aren't they cute?  I know, we're the proud parents of......drum roll please.........three flats of dirt!  :)

 And so the waiting part begins, always the hardest.  Here's what the rest of the seed flats look like, we started a lot of peppers this year, not so many tomatoes as there were so many volunteers last year, I had to weed them out!  Now watch, not a single one will reappear, wouldn't that just fit?

Every day when one of us gets home, whomever is first gets to take a cautious peek under the domes for results.  Don't know when the cactus will come up, their germination window is the size of Alaska, 7-57 days, for pete's sake...

As of tonight, the garlic seeds have won the race, there's a tiny sprout up in their section that looks to be true to garlic form...not sure if they're garlic seeds, or maybe just garlic chive seeds, as the person who gave them to me got them from her next door neighbor last fall.  This spring, she's gone, moved away sometime over the winter...At least we got the seeds!  :)

Biggest problem is the moisture in one of the larger flats, I've noticed there's the start of mold fuzz on the top of the soil, so I slid the cover off ever so slightly, hope that takes care of it.  I also think the dryer being on all day Sunday was a bit too much of a good thing!

OK, updates as events warrant!
