Sprouts!

I will start off this post with an admission of errors. In one of my earlier posts when I mentioned what seeds I had started on March 9th, I forgot about my Di Cicco Broccoli, Mixed Color Cauliflower, and White Snow Crown Cauliflower that I had planted. I have since updated that post (you can even go check!) to show the correct information.

Now with that said, I had to update that because this morning when I went to check on my seeds, TADA! I discovered some sprouts. The broccoli, one of the cauliflowers, and one of the Cos lettuce had some sprouts growing. I took the soil temperature this morning and it read around 55-60 degrees F which tells me that during the day with the sun shining in the window it is probably hitting around 65 degrees (I'll double check that today) but certainly warm enough to induce sprouting in these cool weather crops. 5 days isn't bad at all to see sprouting. In fact, I am inclined to believe that is pretty decent.

I took some close up pictures in the hopes that you may be able to see some of this seasons first growth. I will be the first to admit that I do not have a super high tech expensive camera so you may have trouble making out the small seedlings. That is ok. I can only hope they will grow soon enough to be much more visible :)

Here are the broccoli

 Two on the bottom part of the picture. The flash made them appear more whitish but they are there

This sprout is visible on the left part of the container

Here is two cauliflower sprouts located in the north and south part of the picture

And this is the lettuce sprout located on the left side of the picture. 

This was a pleasant surprise this morning. Now comes the hard part. Keeping them alive and healthy!
