First season plantings

The kids helped me put down the first indoor plantings of the season. Tomatoes, parsley, green peppers...going to be some tasty marinara in about 70 to 85 days! In the end it was a pretty cheap project - seeds were about 12 bucks for each kid to have their own plant they wanted, and a few leftover for dad. Kitty chose mint and Kassy got Chamomile - they'll be tea drinkers. The most expensive thing was the grow lights, but you don't need them necessarily if you have a good sunlight space in the house. And you won't have to worry about being put on a DEA watchlist.
I never thought I'd be a gardener (not much adrenaline involved) but the kids love it. I'm still cool, right? Just kidding. If you have to ask that, you're probably Not. So, yea. Greenthumb Edie. Greedie. Uber cool.
