First sprouts from stuff planted over the weekend:
* Arugula
* Broccoli rabe
* Shanghai pak choi
* bronze mignonette lettuce
* mustard spinach

And two additions to our prior trays:
* rosa bianca eggplant
* kurume eggplant

Given that most of these are seeds > 1 year old, really pleased with germination so far. Most items where one have germinated, all have germinated within a few days. The one exception is flowers, which we might do a new round of this weekend, along with some thinning on the older trays.

Also, annual reminder (that I regularly forget) to start trays with seeds that have similar germination timelines.

Right now, some trays are still waiting on germination for some items, but I should probably remove the cover to ward off excess moisture/disease.

Not as much of an issue if all your stuff is the same germination rate. Someday I'll remember this in a more timely manner. 😆

A few more sprouts over the last two days, including the PEPPERS:

* Siam basil
* Broccoli di cicco
* brussels catskills
* chard, burpee rhubarb
* peppers, fresno chili hot
- Peppers, korean beauty (3/6)
- peppers, midnight dreams
- Peppers, shishito
- peppers, thai hot
- spinach, nobel
- black simpson lettuce
- romaine cimarron

And one lone seedling of delphinium.

The peppers really did all come up, at once, all in the space of a day. I don't know why but I find them very humorous that way.

Feeling like things are already getting leggy. Adding a fan to our shelves today to possibly help.
