Patience is a virtue

So as I mentioned the wild flowers popped right out of the soil in less than a week.(must be weeds). The tomatoes, onions and beans that I did in the toilet paper rolls were another story. After discovering my grow light, I could see the tomatoes sprouting, I was excited. Every night they went into the oven with the oven light on. Then every morning they went back to the window sill. Except one night after a long day, a spill. I planted 4 beans, 4 yellow pears, and 4 onions. One slip and then there were 3 beans, 2 onions and 3 tomatoes, and a bloody mess on the floor! I would suggest that if you want to try the toilet paper rolls,that you keep them in and high sided box, clearly my was too short. Oh well.

The tomatoes continued to sprout, but I was a good week and a bit before I saw the beans. The first was was growing like crazy, then the other two followed a day or so later. And then finally a little tiny green strand, the onions were taking! At that point I decided to use the extra space left from the accident on the floor to add a few more onion seeds.

Still however, no pepper sprouts in sight. I was disappointed, but not discouraged.
