Wow! Now strawberries! Can't wait to see how these turn out. I have some Alpine strawberry seeds, but haven't decided where to plant them.
I'll be watching! Wow!

I cant wait! I love strawberries but the really good ones are expensive here in Manhattan! When I saw these I had to have them! According to what I read I should have a few berries in 3.5 to 4 months. I am using the Law of Attraction to get to taste them sooner! lol
I think its working on all my plants b/c today I see a cilantro & a chive sprout! I am about to go take pictures of them now!

Hey Jessi, do you have any room left in your property. 
I thought I had crowded my AG until you came along, looking forward to seeing those berries fruit.

These guys are a tiny bit bigger today.
I called Buzzy Seeds yesterday to let them know that only 3 out of 10 seeds germinated and they are sending me another packet for my growing pleasure!

Wow.
I am waiting for my alpines to germinate too, those are very iffy from what I read online.

I had problems with my seeds, the germination rate was not the greatest in the world - pretty poor actually.

So I guess that means I am lucky I got 3 at all. I will plant the new ones in another pot with Miracle Grow when they arrive. I wonder if that will make a difference.

2 more strawberry plants appeared!
One of the others has a true leaf but which is remarkable since they are so tiny!

Strawberry leaves are still tiny but growing a little bit everyday. There are 6 now. The 7th didn't make it.

Wow! It has been a month already? No wonder Peat was frustrated with their growth rate. I think my Alpine strawberries are also about 3 weeks now since seeding.

Yup. They are itty bitty babies but I am very zen at the moment and feel like really giving into the notion that everything good takes time & that I must respect the time nature takes to do it right! And when I finally do taste the sweetness of a berry it will all be worth it.

Nice, Jessi! These are really coming along!

Thanks Gisette
I have a light right over them and I think it is making all the difference in the rate of their growth.

< nods > It's tough, isn't it. The difference between any indoor lights and sunlight is huge. I would love to have a sunlight-collecting optic pipe system, to collect sunlight and aim it indoors in winter... Or even in summer, minus the heat.

Hmmm that would be nice! Definitely minus the heat. But I am happy to report that with all these lights I have my energy bill only went up $6 a month

Good lights! And cheap power.

Getting bigger everyday!
These beauties survived the spider mite infestation of 09
These are the smallest seeds ever!
At last.... my love has come along...my lovely garden has been planted.
