It's A Start!

Weeks ago, I ordered some seeds online.  They

are varieties I can't find in my local shops.  There

is a lemon cucumber, an interesting eggplant and

a tomato that is the size of a red current.  You may 

ask, why would you want a tomato the size of a red 

current?  I found this tomato plant a few years ago

at the annual plant sale of a local master gardener.

She always tries new things but last year she didn't 

have any left by the time I got to the sale.  The tiny

tom packs alot of punch.  I would snack on them as 

I was working in the garden and found they were 

great to throw into a pasta salad or couscous and

they were an absolute surprise in egg salad.  What 

is great about them is the small size, the taste and

the fact that they are added whole to the salad and

they then do not add extra moisture to the dish.

Back when I had more time, I had my own 

potting trays and grow lights, I would mix my

 own potting soil mix, oh, those days are long 

gone...  So, I am trying one of these store bought

trays filled with peat pellets.  I had to gradually

add 10 1/2 cups of water to make the pellets

enlarge.  Then you drop the seeds into little 

indents in the pellet and cover with the peat.

I thought they seemed awfully water soaked.

Well, I'll let you know if anything grows.

Fingers crossed.
