I've received some emails asking me how my seedlings are doing so far. So here is my gardening update.

It is not going so well...

I started from seed for the first time and all was just fine and dandy. I bought good seeds (Burpee), filled up little containers with good starter soil, watered daily, and put them on a sunny windowsill. I was amazed when they started to germate...oh, how they grew and grew! But a friend told me they were "leggy" which I had never heard of. I ignored her comments and kept watering. They grew taller and taller, skinnier and skinnier. They never grew their second sets of leaves. They reached up for the sun and fell over. 

Rest in peace, little seedlings. I guess it is back to square one. Once frost is over I will be buying plants from the nursery. A little bird told me that starting from seeds is better done with special grow lights that are placed right over the containers. That doesn't seem frugal to me at all. So onward with my plant buying!
