gettin' kinda seedy

I got back from my Virginia trip with my halfway put-together greenhouse in a pile thanks to the wind storms that blew through here a few weeks ago. All the pieces are fully in-tact and non-broken, but they're just not put together.

It's been too cold/rainy to tackle putting it back together just yet, so I decided to start a few seed trays near some windows. I planted tomatoes, basil, chives, echinacea, tritoma and butterfly weed. So far, so good. The cute little seedlings are poking their way through the soil and look happy and cute.

Here's a close-up of the tomato seedlings. I like them because they get big from the get-go. They do not mess around.

Note the lacey curtain I put up to filter the light so their sweet little seedling leaves don't get too much strong sunlight.
