Seedlings in the Cupboard

Wasn't it wonderful to see the sunshine today?  On Wednesday Tina and I soil blocked a few 40-block wooden trays and seeded our artichokes, swiss chard, and radishes into them.  We put one seed per two inch block for the artichoke and swiss chard but put the radishes four to a block, one seed in each corner.  Once done, into the germination cabinet they went and they are now basking in a warm bath of light to a rhymic schedule of 16 hours on, 8 hours off.  The resting time allows them to do just that, resulting in a slower growing but stronger and healthier plant.   I can close my eyes and taste the buttery artichokes we'll be harvesting this summer.  Yum!
