Matthew planted seeds for cruciferous veg, as well as onions and leeks last Monday. With a bit of assistance from our homemade, super-frugal heating boxes, the first seeds sprouted within a few days.
Our average apartment temperature (especially during the day when we’re at work) is below ideal seed-sprouting temperature (~75° F), so the heat box provides a little extra help in a relatively efficient way. We’re hoping to put together a little post about making the heating boxes, so stay tuned!
Her Green Life 
Wow! Starting seeds in January, I’m totally impressed! Perhaps this is the key to growing broccoli and cauliflower? I’ve never had any success with those. I may have to give it a try.
BTW – I finally decided that it was time to start another blog. Hopefully this time there won’t be any lawsuits or crazy relatives!
