Sproutlings!

We've got tiny plants sprouting! I was getting a little worried because a big snow storm came right after we planted our seeds so our house got much colder than it had been for weeks. After a few days my mom suggested putting a heating pad under the flat and running it for an hour. So I've been doing that periodically throughout the day and it worked! These are basil sprouts. Can't wait to see what comes up next.


I also planted sweet oat grass the same day that we planted the peppers and such. Apparently cats really like this stuff, so if you're a cat Stay Away From My Oat Grass! These are supposed to be purely ornamental. I'm hoping they lovely by Easter. They have started to sprout, so we're doing well so far.
