Everything is sprouted now!  The lettuce is already starting the first set of leaves but everything is poking up from the soil now.  Spinach, carrots, onions and peas!  It’s so lovely to watch.  I removed the plastic because the lettuce was actually touching the top and making the little babies lay over funny!  I mostly did that just to give them some nice warm moist air to get started with.  My goal is not to baby these things too much.  They either have to deal with the house how it is, or die.  I’m a tough moby mom gardener.  Plants do my bidding, not the other way around!  Well, I do baby them a teeny bit.  Just a bit.

One little spinach plant has baby leaves, but most are still in that very beginning sprout look.  Still, there are always over achievers in this life, aren’t there?

But look at the peas!  Wow.., they are so strong and ready to go to town!  I’m hoping that they do okay, I was thinking of making them a little trellis cage out of thin bamboo or something.  I have some little bamboo stakes in the shed and I might cut and lash them together to give the plants something to crawl on.  I suspect that they will need it soon at this rate!!!
