We have plants!

It looks like this year's crop is off to a successful start. We have four varieties of tomato, three onion (including those from our own seed!), cilantro, basil and even "mystery beans."  The mystery beans may not be a mystery to those who truly know beans, but they were rolling around in the bottom of the seed box, and I have no idea what they are.

Plants as of March 12, 2012

Last year we did not have nearly as many plants sprout as have so far this year.  The only difference between the years is this year I used melted snow to start the seeds rather than tap water.  Our city water here has such a high concentration of chlorine that it often smells like a swimming pool.  My plan is to water only with rain water from here on, and see what that difference brings in plant health and yield.
