Sprouts

A couple of weeks ago I started seeds in old plastic seed starting containers from last year's purchased plants. I put them in this plastic organizing drawer to help them stay moist while waiting for them to germinate. It works surprisingly well!

Here are my seeds that are waiting to go into the garden: 

I ended up needing to bring them upstairs because the grow light wasn't putting out enough light and the seedlings are getting leggy. Right now they are on my deck, hardening off in the overcast weather. 

I'm trying an experiment with my green onion plants. They had been just in water on the windowsill in the kitchen, but after harvesting them once, they're at a point where they probably won't grow very much more. In my experience, you can get one or two more cuttings off the tops before their growth slows. 

I took those cuttings and planted them in dirt. I'm hoping that with more access to nutrients, they will continue to grow and I can get a few more cuttings from them.
