Seeds are Sprouting!

Hello again,

I am back with fantastic news! Almost all of my beans and tomato varieties have sprouted! Many of them were off and running within a few days of planting. Like I've said, many of these seeds are a few years old but they are still viable. I learned from a Master Gardener that the larger seeds have a longer time frame where they are viable. I also saved some tomato seeds and those are sprouting. I also have some seeds that were packed for 2013 from Baker Creek and Seed Savers Exchange and those are looking good too.

I know it would be easier to tell you what hasn't sprouted but I am so excited that I don't mind showing off.

Here is the list:

I know that not all of these will make it but that's what gardening is all about. I know I will not be able to grow every single tomato plant and may end up with extra but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch.

I know I still have some time before I can even think before putting out the tomatoes in the garden but the beans should be find to do next month or so. Besides, I don't know how much longer they can be indoors.

This is just a quick update but stay tuned for more.
