I have sprouts!

My little garden is finally showing some action! Check out pics here.

In addition, I noticed some action from the peppers this morning. Hopefully my cheap-ass, thrown-together system of shop lights on bricks, a heated mattress pad, and a space heater scrounged from work is doing the trick. I didn't want to have to sink money into a professional seed-starting setup.

I am finding that there are a lot of one-time start-up gardening costs. For example, I'm now the proud owner of a hoe. And a 100-foot hose, with spray nozzle. And a shovel. That's cutting into my budget more than I thought it would, although I guess I won't ever have to buy a hoe again.
