Beginner's Garden

I've had these pictures on my computer for a while but I was hesitant to post them until I actually grew something!

Seedling supplies

Cucumber seeds wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed on top of the water heater... they sprout in about 3 days!

I've never been afraid to get my hands dirty! I remember "washing" my hands with mud when I was younger. In order to occupy myself while my parents were gardening, of course.

Ross' hot pepper seeds. Sadly, our apartment was not warm enough to sprout these.

Planing cilantro and basil in pots and separating and transplanting the chives.

The first round of cucumber and beet seeds did sprout, but died when we went to Omaha over Easter weekend. I've since replanted those and they're doing better this time- knock on wood! The peppers, like I said, never sprouted and it's too late to re-start those seedlings now. We probably don't get enough sunlight for them anyway (stupid tree in front of our balcony).

The chives are doing great and the basil and cilantro are sprouting as well. We can't wait for those to be ready!
