No, not those adorable pig-tailed babies - though I'm sure they'll show up on here eventually! This time I had to show off my precious little seedlings. Don't you just wanna nuzzle all up in them? Ok, maybe that's just my sick fantasy. But they seem to like it.
This was my first year starting my own seedlings and so far I'm quite pleased with the results. Re-purposed this old rack I found in the basement whose previous life involved housing a menagerie of dust creatures and coincidentally, mason jars of old seeds. Back in February, the warped rusting shelves that I covered in that stunning faux granite contact paper were first graced with Gold Princess and Bianca Di Maggio onions. They went in the ground last week after a stint in the cold frame. The rest of the gang is made up of tomatoes (Roma, Amish Paste, Black Krim, German Pink and Pearly Pink), peppers (Pepperoncini and Filius Blue), Russian Red Kale, Morris Heading Collards, Sage and Oregano.
Bottom Shelf.
Top Shelf - Just enough room with those fancy cardboard box extenders, which also make it quite handy to move them in bulk for watering.
Several varieties of tomatoes.
The Kale/Collards money shot...yes, they are quite sexy.
I'm hardening off the Kale and Collards now and they should be going in the ground this weekend. The rest will have to wait until The Old Farmer's Almanac moon-favorable dates of May 7-14. Here's to naked moonlit vegetable planting! Wait, is that just me too?
