SeedWatch ‘08
OK so after a few weeks of my shuffling down to the basement and peering down at plastic trays while making “Hrmmmm…” noises, the seeds have decided to sprout, AND HOW.
It’s actually damn cool to see. Now, I did read a thing this week in Fine Gardening that I should have read BEFORE I started this, which is that you need to put your lamp only a foot above your seeds (mine is maybe 3-4 ft above) so that the seeds don’t strain toward the light and therefore get “leggy.” Some of my seeds are looking a little leggy. But then, my legs are stumpy, so if my seeds are somewhat legalicious this will all even out in the wash. Or something like that. But anyway! I am quite excited about it all and I present to you…THE SEEDS. Or maybe THE SPROUTS.
