About 2 weeks ago I started my seeds in cups. Some seeds IMMEDIATELY started to sprout. The peas and green beans were the first two. Others didn't do so well: the parsely. After a few days in what I'd like to call the "Plant ICU" the parsely started to grow!! But the mini bell peppers, canteloupe and spinach are still there under the plant light. I am so grateful that my wonderful hubby had that plant light too. :) I hate when seeds "don't grow." It feels like a failure or that maybe they were "duds." Sometimes, they are duds... but I think they just need some extra help. So they are going to stay under the light and get a little extra love for a few days. Then, they will be moved to the window with the other plants.

The garden is all set up and ready for the plants to be moved in, too. Yay!! My husband put up some chicken wire in the back for the beans and peas to grow up. THen he put up some pretty posts that he cut for me up and roped off the garden. So far, it HAS deterred the digger (AKA the giant labrador mix we have) from jumping in and having fun in the dirt. :)

On Thursday, I will be moving the bigger plants outside. That's when it will stop being below 40F at night. I hope they do well outside. The herbs, however, will be staying inside regardless and staying in the mason jars.
Here are a few more pictures:
