A blog about our efforts to establish a suburban homestead in our quarter acre back yard where we grow (mostly) organic fruit and veggies while battling grass, clay soil and the various gardening ills of Mid-Atlantic region. Join us as we garden, cook, up-cycle, build, create, and enjoy.

Seedling Update
All the seedlings from the cell pack are now in pots or yogurt cups. Herbs have turned out great. I sowed enough to transplant in the garden and to fill the pots on my window sills. Sadly, a number of my tomatoes got a bit leggy, but given that I ended up with 18 plants it is not the end of the world if a few don't make it into the garden. However, the surprise this year have been the peppers and eggplant which I did not expect to have such strong germination (based on the last two years experience). Perhaps I will finally get a Beaver Dam pepper and my Rosa Bianca eggplants. I am also including some pics of my lemon balm and my Christmas cactus (which blooms anytime but Christmas). Didn't grow them from seed but they are just so pretty!
