Seedlings

 My cole crops are up, simultaneously and almost instantaneously.  About three or four mornings after seeding them I went to check and where there had been nothing before there was, all of a sudden, an entire garden on the move.

Except for the lazy peppers

And look at these teeny tiny guys.  These are Portulaca or Moss Rose.  I love these.  They reseed themselves with regularity in my garden, but because I always expect volunteers, I rarely buy any.  Starting my own from seed will be more cost effective and I won't have to wait on the volunteers.

Speaking of lazy peppers.  I seeded three ornamental peppers with this tray.  I had thought I had one up.  Peppers take a little longer.  When the actual peppers, in this case a dark leaved variety, began to show up I realized that what I had assumed was a pepper is actually a wayward tomato seedling.  So, thinking I only got one pepper to germinate, I reseeded all of these cells.  Now I will probably end up with twice as many peppers as I planned.

Patience!
