Well, that greenhouse has powers. I planted all those seeds on Saturday and couldn't believe that some of them have already sprouted. That was fast! I propped the plastic lids up on those trays. When all of them have sprouted, I'll remove the lids altogether and give 'em some artificial light.

I'm way behind on posting pics, darnit. I can't get my act together. I even planned to take pics of the seed packets I used, so I could remember which EXACT kind I bought in case any were real keepers, but I STILL haven't gotten around to it.

However, I remember that the tomatoes were: steak sandwich hybrid, sungold, yellow pear, currant, beefsteak, delicious, and...one more I can't remember. Maybe sweet 100. Yeah, I think that's it. For herbs, I planted 3 kinds of basil (my fave), thai, sweet and purple. Then, there's two kinds of dill, greek oregano, cilantro, and flat leaf parsley. For flowers, I planted two kinds of columbine, two kinds of zinnia, foxglove (the deer never touch 'em), and some more I can't remember. OH! I planted some bell peppers, too. I'm going to try growing the peppers in containers and move them into the greenhouse at the end of the season so I can actually get ripe peppers for once in this zone. It'll be interesting to see if it works.
