First Seedlings of 2007!
Well, it has begun. The first seedlings of 2007 are already crowding each other for precious fluorescent juice. Most of the peppers I've planted are up - though some are having a bit of trouble getting their seed casing off, so hopefully those will make it. Several of the 30 tomato peat pellets I've planted have sprouted as well. And the Romanesco Broccoli that I originally had atop the fridge sans heat, was moved last night to the basement heat pad and - viola! They were all up and crushing at the plastic dome when I got home from work! Hurray! And here I was worried they weren't going to germinate. I guess they just wanted a little comfort was all.
So far here's what's germinated:
Alma Paprika Pepper (2)
Thai Dragon Pepper (2)
Sweet Chocolate Pepper (2)
Red Mini Pepper (1)
Jimmy Nardello Pepper (1)
Cherry Roma Tomato (2)
Pineapple Tomato (1)
Romanesco Broccoli (4)
Starlight Scentsation Flower (4)
I'm pretty sure I'll have an update tomorrow as there were a few white specks poking out that I just didn't want to put under the lights yet. And of course, I'm going to check again before I go to bed!

My wife and I wanted to start our first garden in our new house so badly this spring. Alas, we will be in Europe for three weeks so we had to take a pass. Maybe next year!
