Originally uploaded by tpl108.

Planted a week-and-a-half-ago, these seedlings took five days to germinate. To help things along the container was placed in the basement where the temperature is more or less constant. Of the eight seeds sown, four sprouted and three are alive today. By mid-September the first of the spinach should be ready for harvest.
