I have three kinds of lovelies in my bathroom window this Spring.
1. Serrano peppers, from seeds saved from last year's crop. These
were very late in sprouting, and are still very small. I will have to
watch them very carefully.
2. Heirloom tomatoes (Brandywine) from free-with-purchase trial seeds.
There were ten seeds in the packet. They all sprouted. I have
learned from internet research that Brandywines are an indeterminate
potato-leafed variety. Indeterminate means they will grow taller and
taller forever, unless I snap off the secondary stems. Potato-leafed,
sadly, does not mean that their leaves are shaped like potatoes, but
like the leaves of potatoes, which is less interesting.
3. Ruby chard. By far my favourite vegetable (and so versatile!),
they were quick to sprout, but have since been overtaken by the
tomatoes. I am starting to see secondary leaves, though, so now the
only challenge is refraining from eating them until they're big enough
to tolerate losing a few leaves at a time.
I love growing things. It's like making food out of dirt and code.
