"Grow little broccoli (or other vegetable), grow!" has been our mantra for the past couple weeks now. Finally our first seedlings have sprouted!


Red Orach


 Gotte Jaune D'or Lettuce


 We had to set up a second grow station out in our garage as we ran out of living room space. We turn the heat lamp on at night when we turn off the grow light, to give the plants a little warmth in the chilly garage.


Such tasty.... I mean, ADORABLE babies.


Sanguine Ameliore Lettuce


 Lollo Rossa Lettuce


Rubin Lettuce

I've especially enjoyed watching the little lettuces grow. It's pretty interesting how they all start out looking pretty much the same, but as they grow, you start to notice all the little differences and characteristics; color, shape and texture changes, specific to their variety. Kind of like fetuses. That one's for you Jos :-P
