Remember our winter sowing experiment?

My bottom watering routine

Brace yourselves!  This is going to be one very boring blog post!  Feel free to skip this post, unless you want to poke fun at my nerdiness.  Actually, if you go grab a snack by the time you get back, I should be done and then you will be spared my detailed ramblings.  See you in a few... 

 

I wanted to make a note for myself on how we were watering from the bottom because I kept forgetting and doing it in the wrong order and forgetting the simple way I did it the day before.  So I decided I would make a post about it so I can save myself a few headaches next time.

 

Transplanting the peppers!

Oh, happy day!

 

We are ready to transplant!

 

We put everything on the table we thought we'd need.  Jacob was working with me today since he wanted to do his own peppers.  He is growing the Jalapeno peppers and dreaming of homemade salsa.

 

Preparing to transplant the peppers

 

Our pepper babies are moving up in the world!

Up another shelf, that is. 

Pepper plants...sproutlings!

Things are getting awfully exciting around here with the world around us rubbing sleepiness from it's eyes and awakening to spring.

Starting our pepper seeds indoors

Steve and I finally got our pepper seeds started! 

 

Dreaming big...getting ready to start seeds indoors

We are getting excited about starting our first garden in our new home.  The garden bed has been resting while we've been leafing through seed catalogs and dreaming of what we'd like to grow.  We found that it is just as important to not browse seed catalogs while hungry as it is to not grocery shop while hungry! 

We have tried twice to start seeds indoors and both times it didn't go well.  But we really like peppers and we use tomato products year round and would really like to be able to grow our own peppers and tomatoes and be able to grow some interesting and heirloom varieties.  So, we are going to try it again.
