The seeds I planted only a couple short weeks ago are healthy and sprouting. My beans are on the verge of world domination (or at least greenhouse domination). I still find it amazing that a small seed given the right conditions can sprout into something so large. Science, man. Can't argue with it.
The Maryland weather has been very unpredictable this year. We're almost into our second week of Spring and we are barely out of the 30's at night. What's going on? The last frost should hopefully come around April 11th (check for your area) and then it will be time to transfer these hardy seedlings to some outdoor soil. My pepper plants (all four varieties) are the slowest to germinate so far. I'm a little worried that they have fallen victim to my heavy watering hand but I'll give them some more time. I have a feeling that warmer weather will send those shoots out of the soil and into the daylight. If you aren't as fortunate as I am and don't have access to a greenhouse then germinating seeds on a sunny window sill should do the trick just fine. Don't be afraid to kill a seedling or two along your journey of becoming a gardener/farmer. Like everything else gardening takes patience and practice. You'll learn when to water and how much. You'll learn how much space each seedling requires. Just stick with it!
I think this might be kale....but don't quote me on that.
Sprouting!
