Seeds started!

Please excuse the lack of posts, but I went away to a family member's (fabulous!) wedding this weekend. On the way back, we stopped and finally got the supplies to start all the seeds for this years garden. I didn't even unpack first, just got right down to business... A bag of soil, 17 tape & toothpick flags for labels, and 136 little slots in trays later, everything is planted.

We placed the seed trays on top of the fridge. Huh? Well, it really makes perfect sense -heat from the refrigerator coils, indirect sunlight, and kitchen humidity all equal perfect sprouting conditions. Once they have sprouted, they will be moved down for more light, then get ready to be hardened for planting. I can't wait!

Tomatoes, onions, peppers, beans, melons, squashes, lettuces... oh my! Other than fearing I may have planted too many beans, this year will be wonderful! I have the feeling once everything is in full swing, any time that isn't spent weeding, will be spent on pickling and canning. Any volunteers for a canning partner?
