I'm so excited to be gardening again!!!
On Sunday, after church, Kyle and I got some seeds
started in the seed trays Rod & I bought the other day.
We started a TON of peppers (red, yellow, orange...),
more cabbage to go with the ones we started in
cotton balls (we aren't sure how those are going to do...)
and some broccoli and cauliflower.
We set them up on the top of Beau's crate in the
living room with a grow light, but it was pretty
unstable. We had one end stuck in the book shelf
and the other end taped to the top of the spray bottle.
Hahahahahahahaha.
Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner.
And we needed to tidy up, and move the crate so
we could set up a table.
So I moved them to my office.
Still not an ideal setup... they are sitting on my freeze dryer totesl
And there are cans holding the light.
But they seem to be ok with it.
This morning we have 14 new little baby broccoli starts!
Nothing else yet, but peppers take a long time.
And the cabbages in cotton seem to be doing well under the lights.
They are a little "leggy", but we will fix that by lowering the light.
Kyle spent yesterday working on getting his shed ready
for us to turn it into a grow room.
He insulated and drywalled 90% of it. Still has to do
above the workbench and the ceiling.
Pretty good for one day though!
So we should be able to move them out there soon.
Anyhow.
I'm EXCITED!!!!
In other news, I got a couple of fun packages from Mom!
Ugh. I just got out of the shower... lol.
And GOODNESS I'm WHITE!
Sheesh.
Anyhow.
I wore these darling earrings last night to dinner.
They are SO CUTE!
And the girls are going to love the little kites.
I'm going to make up a bunch of them.
Thank you!!!!!

Lots of seedlings! They'll be less leggy if you put your trays/lights "hotdog" style instead of "hamburger" style (or use 2 lights) - more uniform light distribution. 😉 - J
"Goodness I'm white" says the Floridian. Hahaha
