Seedlings update

It has been almost a month (well, 20 days) since we planted our first round of seeds.We have a funny little set up. The seedlings are next to our large south facing window and we have a LED daylight bulb on them as well. The soil wasn't getting very warm, so we started covering our trays with plastic wrap, and then covering them with a towel at night, which seemed to help.

I'm happy to say that as of today, at least one of each kind of seed we planted in the first round has germinated. Hooray!

1. Lettuce (8 days)
2. Spinach (10 days)
3. Onions (13 days)
4. Basil (16 days)
5. Green Peppers (20 days)

Today also marked round 2 of seed planting, however it wasn't was as larger of an event - just dino kale. We were told by a few people that they started too many tomatoes and we were more than welcome to them, so those are covered.
