Oooh, we started our plants, too. :D Although we're growing straight from seeds instead of buying pre-made transplants. We've got corn, cucumber, zucchini, multi-colored carrots, leaf lettuce, radishes and orange watermelons. We bought a little greenhouse tray that comes with little discs of dehydrated peat in little mesh-net bags, and you just add water to rehydrate, plant the seeds, wait a week or two and they're ready for transplant. We've also got green onions already planted. :3
Our cucumbers, zucchini and radishes are all ready to go, and about half of the watermelon are ready. I seeded 18 little peat plots with corn, though, and for some reason they seem to be growing mold...? O_o About 3 have sprouted and got fairly tall now, though. A couple others have sprouted but aren't very big. A lot of them have sprouted roots but not shoots, and the roots are growing together with other peat patches. D: I've had to separate 3 of them now.
Eee, gardening is getting me excited. e_e This is the first place we've had that's had a good spot for a garden. The soil is nice and sandy, too. :3 The flowers we've planted are already going crazy. I can't wait to see our vegetables. :D
