Let there be...my first blog.

And it begins.

My 2009 garden, that is. Today I planted three types of eggplants: six Ping Tung from Taiwan, six Rosa Bianca from Italy, and my one remaining Fairy Tale hybrid seed. They should have been started a couple of weeks ago, but things happen. I'm sure they won't hold it against me. That's the thing about plants...but I digress. I also planted twelve cells of cauliflower 'Amazing' hybrid. They're all on the southern exposure window sill for now, until the heat from the sun germinates them. Then it's under the grow lights they go. 

I was happy to find seed starting flats at WalMart for $1 each, consisting of two 12-cell units and two drip trays per package. SO much more convenient that the big old rectangular 72-cell flats. This way I can easily separate varieties and vary their position under the lights as some grow taller than others more quickly, keeping the light at the optimal level for each. I am philosophically opposed to shopping at WalMart, but nobody's perfect...

Here is my first picture, to go along with my first blog post...enjoy. I'm off to plant more stuff. ღ
