Seedling Update

February 28, 2009 - I wish I could find time to blog every day, because when you start growing things, a lot happens in a day. Here's what you missed over the past week -

All the arugula and mesclun seeds began to sprout -
Then they got a little bigger -



And here's what they look like now!

See how they're all leaning toward the sun, trying to soak up as much as they can. We turn them around every day so that they aren't always leaning in the same direction. We certainly don't want them to strain themselves. :)
Joe and I tasted one plant and were surprised to find that it already has that super strong arugula taste that we both love so very much. Can't wait til we have tons of this stuff growing outside!

Also, the onions I planted and expected to wait forever to germinate have already started! Here's one of the first ones to come -


When you watch plants grow from babies you start to see how different they all look from the very beginning. These onions first push up basically folded in half, and then unfold themselves. Very cool.
