For the first time I'm growing plants from seeds (hey, I've been a city girl most of my life) but now retired in a small area with a lot of great gardeners, so I'm learning....

So I have trays and trays all over the house with little containers (the kind you can just plant in the ground) all over by sunny windows.

I'm feeling a great sense of nurturing watching the wee seedlings poke their head above the growing medium.

I water them when needed and talk to them (mentally, not out-loud).

Feeling a good sense of accomplishment with this new project. Hope to save considerable $$ by growing my own. Have some herbs growing, too.

In a couple of weeks, I'll harden them off by taking them outside for a bit and then transplanting them into ground and containers. I've lots and lots of flower-pots.

Hints welcome!
