Starting the 2011 growing season

While I have a better idea this year of which plants to start early,  my
over-all philosophy is still one of engaging in a grand hopeful experiment.

So here's the first report for the new year.

Set up my indoor seed starting apparatus--trays, jiffy pots and Sun
Blaze T5 lamp on Sunday, February 13th.  On Weds the 16th I have
the first signs of germination!   I planted a bunch of cold weather
species: Kale, Broccoli, Broccoli Rabe, Heirloom Lettuce, Romain
Lettuce.  Will update with pictures soon.   I hope to be transplanting
these outsideto a cold frame in a few weeks.    My goal is to have a
successful harvest of this crop by April.  

Who knows?  We'll see what happens.
