Early Birthday Present

So I finally set up my early birthday present...I'm so spoiled...I love my new potting room and my new seedling rack!!! It's from Costco, steel with 6 shelves and came with casters. Maybe a little much for right now but lots of room to add more lights...hehe...maybe next year. I transplanted some of my tomatoes, almost all of them came up which is nice since most of the seeds were purchased last year.

The new potting room...all mine. I'm adding a white board and calendar...oh and a stereo.

The new seed rack....yeah!!!

Long Time No Blog

I have definitely been overdue for a blog entry, I blame my basement which has turned into a time and money pit this past month. We have progressed leaps and bounds so I can't say I'm not more than thrilled. My seeds have not been ignored though, I have been planting and transplanting here and there. With the new basement, my husband was so kind to give me a potting room, well half a room more like it (the other half is his bike storage). I moved my light setup down there and I now have an old desk which now houses my potting bin, garden books, and all my seed starting supplies. The room is unfinished with a concrete floor which is nice so I can make a bit of a mess and not have to worry too much about it. Now on to the seedlings:

Borage seedlings - a lot bigger than I thought they would be!

Orange bell peppers and mini bell peppers (started in vermiculite)

Summer savory...I'm interested to see what this tastes like.

Bright lights swiss chard (red, yellow, and pink).

Thyme are doing well, starting to bush out nicely.

Cilantro and tumbler tomatoes, I will transplant these tonight.

Seeds started in vermiculite, I need to transplant these now.
