Potted up arugula, salvia Red Jewel (a client loves it), romaine, swiss chard. I managed to germinate my favorite cucumber, and I\'m going to pot that up soon. I started some of these seedlings more than once, but didn\'t pay enough attention.

I\'m trying to see how many plants I normally purchased can be grown from seed. I found the seeds of some very colorful heirloom carrots and they germinated but are still too small to transplant. There are some edibles that have a lot of pesticide residue, so I emphasize those. A friend gave me seeds for red peppers he liked. I put them in self watering pots from Gardeners Supply and they were amazing. These pictures are from 2010 but I kept the seeds in the fridge so I germinated some of the original ones last year.

My biggest thrill is watching the virginia bluebells break dormancy and realizing that the ones I put in two years ago are starting to spread!
