Four Days After Germination

Our Germination Boxes

Cucumber

Sugar Snap Peas

Lettuce Mix

Beets
Four days after germination (we planted the seeds late Sunday night before going to bed), we were delighted to see a host of new arrivals sprout up from the soil.  In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit I was slightly freaked out to see the snap peas sprouts - so big, vigorous and plentiful - like squiggly worms burrowing their way out of the earth.  We have been spraying the soil with some water to maintain the moisture in the boxes and most of the seeds appear to be drinking up the water and thriving.  Next up, transplanting the seedlings to bigger containers.
