I started my first seedlings today \u2013 leeks, sage, thyme, snapdragons and two kinds of hot peppers (Thai and Tennessee Spice, the latter was a freebie from Sand Hill Preservation Center, and I have no idea what that pepper even is). The leeks and hot peppers are for myself, the snapdragons (mostly) for the communal flowerbeds, and the sage and thyme are for the new community garden at the Mildred Haley Housing Development in Jackson Square. They are currently undergoing a redevelopment, which will include creating community gardening spaces, and I will start seedlings (flowers and herbs) this spring for the borders of that garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not looking like much right now but I find it most exciting: Seeds all tucked in, under grow lights and with a heat mat to warm the soil.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
