    Default Seeds are finally sprouting!

    My green pepper seeds are FINALLY sprouting as are my petunia seeds. I am amazed at how tiny the petunia seedlings are! WOW!

    I had just about given up on the green peppers. I put 5 peat pellets in a margarine tub with plastic wrap over the top and they are on my window sill over my kitchen sink. I've peaked at them at least twice a day. I will have to look back in my posts and at my journal to see when I started them, but it seems like it has been at least 3 weeks if not 4.

    I must admit, I gave up on the old seeds I had in wet paper towels for germinating. They turned green and gunky, so I threw them away. I may give them a try in peat pellets -- just to give it one more try.

    My tomatoe seed are sprouting and are about an inch tall. I didn't cover them this time. Just put them in a pot inside the house by the back door. Sure hope I get some healthy plants out of them.
