Lou's Seeds Sprouting

Cindy grew up in Indiana, an area of the country that celebrates its connection to the legendary Johnny Appleseed, who popularized the spread of apple trees throughout the mid-West.

Maybe she's been influenced by that example; she seems determined to do the same with heirloom tomato varieties, sprouting the seeds and then giving the extra plants to friends and neighbors.

She also gave her dad some of the seeds.  He had set them up in his laundry room and sprouted them, but Cindy helped him set up a grow light system to give them an extra boost.

By the time we returned from our week long road trip to the wedding in North Carolina, the seedlings had grown a lot.  They were on a capillary mat to insure they had enough water, and they did just fine.

He  planted them outside before another recent trip and now is worried that cooler nights might have set them back a bit, but it has warmed up since and they should be fine.
