The little Seeds that Could

This one could also be called "Cathcup 2," but what fun would that be??

A week or two ago, the trays with our little'ns in them weren't showing so many signs of life. So we brought them to our patio for some morning sun, breakfast smoothie infused water (we use our used water to feed the plants:), fresh air (freedom from the domes), and some stimulating conversation (well we think we're interesting anyway..).

We also sowed the new seeds into a few more trays a week ago last Sunday...
The results? Some of the first batch are coming out to play (some bean sprouts, broccoli, 2 eggplants, and golden beets).

The second sowing started sprouting last Friday and is greening up by the day....YAY!!!

We learned that those little winged leaves that sprout up first are called "Suckers" because apparently, once the real leaves come in, the suckers hog all the good stuff from the soil for themselves...who knew the plant world was so competitive with itself?!

Speaking of soil, J and I spent a lovely Sunday (yesterday) in the sun yanking weeds, building beds, and visualizing the tasty future that lies ahead :P
