A couple weeks ago, we decided to start a limited number of plants indoors, under a grow light in our living room/my office. It's a smaller set-up than in years past, focused mostly on semitropical plants that need a head start but are difficult or expensive to buy at nurseries.
I had forgotten what a thrill it is to see seeds sprout! We'll be babying these along for several more weeks until after the last frost, then set them loose in our garden to see what happens.

Our initial set-up, with sweet potatoes and a chayote (the green fruit in the middle) |

First sweet potato sprouts... |

Look at them now! |

We potted the chayote, and it's growing a super-long vine! The pot behind this one has an elephant ear tuber. |

My loofah seedlings are coming up now! |
