seedlings!

my brother and his wife gave me some cherry tomato seeds for xmas two years ago. sweetpea adores the cherry tomatoes, so i planted them again this year for her. they saved the seeds themselves, and some of the seeds were in clumpsand i was too lazy to break them up this year. so i just planted them that way. i didnt expect EVERY single seed to sprout, but they did!


oh boy did they ever! WHOOPS!


i really wasnt expecting that to happen...


so i did some thinning


rather than pull the extras out, i just grabbed the scissors and cut them off.


there was a lot of thinning to be done


i cut them back to only two stems per pot


newly thinned


watermelon sprouting under grow lights


onions, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and various flowers


blurry tomatoes on the bottom shelf of grow lights


tada!


peas and i think radish greens out in the greenhouse


the new hose reel i had to buy because the old one broke last fall. and its difficult to wrangle 100 feet of hose without a hose reel.
