Part III – They’re ALIVE

Part III – Holy Shit! They’re ALIVE! Well, some of them, anyways.

Over the last day or two, I began to realize that I need a different light set up for a number of reasons. So I visited the Intertubes, got a few ideas and located a cheap wire rack that not only holds the grow tray nicely, but also affords me a number of ways to attach my clamp lights. 

Upon taking apart my rig, I was pleasantly surprised to see that a couple of my seeds have started sprouting! It’s only been about 36 hours since we planted them! The seeds which have sprouted so far are: one of the basil plants; lettuce; and the old cucumber seeds which were technically past their “use by” date. In fact, the sprouting cucumber seed appears to be pushing out the other seeds we put in with it. Believe me, I was telling myself to be prepared for failure. I would have been happy to see just one of these plants sprout!

As these grow, there will be more updates and pictures to come, so stay tuned.
