Plantings from seed this year

Howdy All,

We did alot of plantings this year. Given that we have another mouth to feed, we decided to go big in the garden so that we have lots of veggies available to grind up into baby food. We have a grow light in our garage, which also has a heater underneath it to warm up the seedlings roots. This whole contraption is placed up on wood blocks, to keep it insulated from the concrete of our garage floor.

Above, you can see our first round of plantings, which we planted in the garage in early February. All of the red cups have sunflower seeds (I might have gone a big overboard :) The larger containers are white cherry tomatoes, birdhouse/ dipper gourd, and zuchinnis.

We have an unusually warm winter (global warming), so we put them outside pretty early to harden them up, and got them into the ground about a week ago.

Here we have our second round of seeds:

Milkweed, cucumbers, bell peppers,

The third round:

Watermelon
