FUNGUS!!

Well. I saw the reviews and thought I had gotten through the worst but my little peat pots got fungus. As was suggested by my buddy at grownotes I moved the trays to a drier room. I guess being in a cold room with three fish tanks wasn't ideal... I have been removing the top layer of soil as the fungus builds. Will most likely be transplanting to larger peat pots this weekend.

jared's avocado

This is a small avocado plant that's kept in the window over the sink. It's such a pretty plant. I love the way it's coming out of the seed, splitting it in two. After seeing a few of the beans come up you can see the relationship it has to legumes.

The Beginning... not quite

I had two separate people tell me I should blog about my 2010 gardening attempt. So it's not quite at the beginning, I planted (sowed?) my seeds on Feb 15th. It's a little over two weeks later and oh boy how things have sprouted!

Here are photos of what has come up so far:

Holy Kentucky Beans Batman!


Lots of Lettuce, Zucchini, Radishes and the Beans - Peas under plastic (tape) haven't sprouted yet


Here we have Tomatoes, Butternut Squash, Radishes, and a few Sunflowers thrown in

I have three Butternut Squash seedlings that are from seeds I saved from a really nice big Squash we used for the Regifting Party menu. It was a very yummy Moroccan Stew. Also the Sunflowers are from seeds I saved from my Sunflowers last year, I hope they're not Monsanto Sunflowers...
