Starting Seeds Inside

The Seedling Incubator

The plan this year is to start our entire garden from seed. We started tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, eggplant, and okra at the beginning of February. Here’s where the “operation” takes place: in the basement on a table surrounded by chicken wire (to keep out a cat, who destroyed the seedlings last year). A few fluorescent lights and a space heater later, and we we’re ready to start growing!

A list of what we have:

Tomatoes

  • Amana Orange
  • Marvel Striped
  • Oxacan Pink
  • Prize of the Trails Cherry
  • Early Red Chief
  • Roma

    Eggplant

  • Pink Bi-colored
  • Italian White
  • Black

    Peppers

  • Czechoslovokian Black
  • Cayenne
  • Purira Chile
  • Hungarian Wax
  • Jalapeno

    Star of David Okra

    Waltham Broccoli

    Here’s hoping for a bountiful season!
