Planting
















I've decided to start this blog as a handy way for me to keep track of dates/successes/failures as I garden here in Cincinnati.

Yesterday, I finished starting my seeds inside using roughly equal parts peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite. The seeds I got through the generosity of the Civic Garden Center here, as one of the perks of being a community gardener.
















I have them under two 2 ft. shop lights, each with two cool white bulbs.
















My wife isn't exactly thrilled with the aluminum foil wrapping I've put around the seed trays. I'm hoping it reflects back as much light and heat onto the plants as possible. We'll see! I have high hopes for my little seeds!
