Drumroll please...

The sprouts are done.  Well, the broccoli sprouts are done at least.  The mung bean sprouts ended up on the ground when I dropped them during a rinsing accident.  It was tragic.
Anyway, I am happy that I finally tackled sprouting.  I've been meaning to do it since I traveled to Idaho with a group of hippie-type people around 8 years ago.  The tall guy in the photo below would rinse his sprouts at every pit-stop we made along the way.  By the time we made it to the Rainbow Gathering, we had sprouts.  This photo shows folks taking a musical break while setting up the "Turtle Soup Kitchen". Someday I will tell you more about my experiences with the Rainbow Gathering.

Sprouting

I bought an inexpensive sprouting system the other day and am trying it out for the first time.  It came with a few packets of seeds to try out.  I'm not doing a ton at first, just enough to give it a try.  I'm excited though.  I've been wanting to start sprouting for a while now.  This photo shows mung beans on top and broccoli on the bottom.

I received my first seed catalogue order.  I purchased a soil tester from Gurney's this year.  I figured if I am going to put in blueberry plants I'm going to need to keep an eye on the Ph.  Also in this shipment, I got an heirloom tomato mix, lettuce and dill.

I'm ready and waiting to get outside and start gardening.  Now if it would just warm up a bit...
