I have seedlings!

Yay!  My lettucae have decided to sprout.  And all with minimum effort.  That's the best kind of garden plant :).  Now if they'll just keep it up.

My broccoli and calabrese has also sprouted.  Just in time for the weather to get just a little warmer and be perfect for planting in my non-existent raised bed.  I guess that is the next weekend project that is nearing its procrastination deadline. 









The tomatoes haven't sprouted yet.  I didn't really expect them to just yet.  They usually take a little more warmth to start since they are a warm weather crop.  So, I purchased two heating pads on my way home tonight and have placed them under the trays holding the tomatoes.  The sun room is warmer than the rest of the house.  But with the sun not shining for the last couple of days, it just isn't warm enough.  There is a slight bit of condensation on the inside of the trays that I believe have more to do with the initial warmth of the water I put in them than any heat provided by the sun. We'll see in a couple of days how effective the heating pads end up being.
