Seeds of our Lives - Update

Turned my T-5 grow light on this morning and there they were - little green things poking out from the soil. Because I didn't label anything, its hard to tell what it is, but memory says it is probably onions. So, that being said, they took 4 days to germinate. I see other tiny things poking out around the tray, but will wait a day or two to take a picture. It is very cool to grow your own seeds - I know this is the easy part, but I was genuinely excited this morning when I saw them! Now I see why herb gardens (especially in containers) are popular - you can grow them by seed so rapidly and keep sowing new seeds every week so you have a steady supply. I'm also very happy with the T-5 red spectrum light. I think it really does help with quicker germination.
Well, it is another nasty, cold morning out there. And now, the double digit warm weekend we were supposed to have has been selfishly pulled away! Stay warm and have an incredible day!
