Woo hoo, I actually have some seedlings sprouting [View all]

Forgive me for being excited about seeing actual green things poke through the soil, but I have been far from successful at growing plants. I wanted to do it, though, and now I have 28 out of 36 different plants (4 Cucumbers and 24, half beefsteak, half brandywine tomatoes) sprouting! My tabasco peppers haven't peeked through yet, but they take a bit longer.

Who would have thought a brown thumb like me could get something to actually sprout? I'll be ecstatic if I can set them out and get them to actually GROW and bear fruit!

I admit, I was a little scared of the green bean sprouts last year, when they first came out arcane1 Mar 2014 #4

Have fun. There is nothing more rewarding than something you planted grow. In_The_Wind Mar 2014 #6

I'm a mile from the Gulf of Mexico, if that. Aerows Mar 2014 #7
