From seed


I pretend to be a gardner. I love the idea of having organic fruits and vegetables growing in my backyard. I want to grow in abundance! I want there to be enough for canning and freezing, like my grandmother always did. But...I have to tell you...I don't think I'm gonna make it. For over a month I have had these seeds under a grow light, burning more electricity than I care to figure out. Granted I forgot about them when we went to CA for 5 days and they were stuck in the dark during the whole time, but since then I have given them love and attention and the sproutling are just not responding. I mean look at them. There is no way they are ready for the outside garden! Now I have to decide...do i give it one more shot and try germinating the tomato seeds or do I head to Star Nursury and get me some plants?

You could start the seeds outside when it gets a bit warmer. Or you can get some starters. Maybe if I have too many seedlings, I'll start up a side business. ;)
