The seedlings are growing - here's Skeeter keeping guard on them, just in case there's a ferocious plant - eating mouse loose in the house!
i used to start hundreds of seeds under lights every Spring, especially when we had a basement and i had more room. i was always a little worried that my neighbors would see the lights on half the night with all those plants and call the police! i assure you, though, there was never any "hemp" involved (although there may have been a stray Opium poppy or two in there!) But now with my leaf casting business taking up more of my time, (and i've gotten older), i tend to want "instant gratification" - or a lot closer to it! i'm not as willing to wait several years for a seed to grow into a landscape - sized plant! These days, i pretty much just grow Castor Beans, heirloom tomatoes, Moonflower vines, and some annuals that are hard to find around here.
