Seeds and things

We finally got our seeds started. It has been on the to-do list for a couple weeks, but always seemed to slip to the bottom of said list. Until yesterday.

HE put up the Seed-o-Matic 2010 in our upstairs loft.
As you can see this is very high-tech stuff. Really it's just HE's method of avoiding putting holes into our ceiling from which to string the plant lights. 

HE, Erica and I then sorted through our seed packets, labeled craft sticks and planted seeds. Aidan was too busy working on lego structures for his next stop-motion lego youtube movie (say that three times fast).


This morning I tromped through the garden, checking for any growth and found some chives and a bit of parsley trying to make a go of it. Our strawberries are also greening out quite nicely.
 Hopefully in six weeks or so we will be transplanting healthy, robust seedling.
I came in from the garden and, a bit later, our weather radio alerted us to severe thunderstorms coming our way.

Shortly thereafter, a hailstorm began.

 Isn't that just like spring....
 get you all excited and then, WHAM!
"Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention, puny human."
Aidan remarked on the hailstorm, "I've never seen anything like that in my entire life!"

True enough.
