Midnight Gardener

Today was a productive day. It started way early. Midnightish early, so technically today.
Considering the hour of this posting let me clarify. Tuesday was a productive day.
I planted all the seeds that I procured at a local home improvement store. I started them in one of this peat pellet trays. Add water and the little buggers just swell right up.
The lid creates a greenhouse effect. Good greenhouse not global warming greenhouse.
Warm plants makes for happy plants. So just call me the Midnight Gardener.



I planted mostly herbs and 4 varieties of radishes.
WHAT? I like radishes, and they are easy to grow.



Amazingly, after I had sleep a few hours and made it closer to lunch, (about 11 hours) there was proof of germination, which is flippin cool.



I ran out of room in the peat pellet pallet, so I started a terracotta pot with one of the basil varieties. No discernable germination here...


I also snagged a bunch of already growing herbs. They have since been transplanted into window box pots and are awaiting warmer weather for a first venture out into the sun.


There's a tree in the back yard and I haven't foggiest clue about it's name, but it has these tiny white blossoms. I like em. I gots me some. It's in a vase on the table.


I am aware that I am missing a restaurant review from Saturday, but I just can't get a bead on where to start.
I promise to post it soon.
Oh and today was my first semi-annual beef stock making day... More on that later

Cheers
