Let's grow, Sproutlets!

Ok, I have a toddler who watches a lot of Sesame Street on the Sprout cable channel, so that's the first thing that comes to mind. However, the sproutlets in question are in the seed cells under the grow light. Last night the ones planted in seed starting mixture poked through the soil. The lights have been on 24/7 since planting and it took just four days to germinate and be visible.

Yesterday, I put out three "Wall-o-Water" covers in the raised bed. These will be for the tomato plants. The directions note that the "Wall-o-Water" should be in place for a week in order to warm the soil. It should get some good sun today as the high is predicted to be 72.
