Sprouts!!

We have been watching our little sprouts come up, one by one, day by day. Some of them took shorter then the time allotted on the package, very exciting! Others are taking longer then stated- kind of worrisome.

I am so happy to see sprouts coming up, it make me feel accomplished! We have been watering daily with a mist setting on the hose. It seemed that by mid to late afternoon, they were already getting dried out. So I started watering by hand with a watering can. They seemed to stay moist longer, especially since I covered the seedlings with clear food plastic. Now they are in mini green houses!! They are thriving much better!

When we started our seeds, we played about 2-4 seeds in each depth hole, just incase some were dead seeds. Now almost every pot has 2-4 sprouts! I was sad, because I didn't want to just through them away. I have transplanted some on the extra seedlings, but I am unsure if they will survive. With our newest sprouts, we are just putting the extra seedling sprouts on our salads- and it's very tasty!!!!!
