SPROUTS!


The marigolds started to sprout on the Wednesday (March 26), after having been put in the soil on the Sunday (March 23).  That's fantastic in my books.  As of first thing Friday morning, 18 of the 20 possible marigolds had burst forth.  

Also, on Friday morning (March 28) the first of the beets had come out.  

I have started a set of egg cartons to try next, once the marigolds are all out.  I'll move those flats out of the "greenhouse" and into their own tray of water.  I think I'll try basil and mint in the egg cups.  I had thought I would try more marigolds, given how FANTASTIC the marigold experience has been to date, but I would love to have a bit of indoor herb action, too.
