My vegetable garden goal this year was to indoor plant everything so early that I would have really mature plants to put outside. I'll report how well things handle the transplanting. Regardless, it sure has been fun to experiment and admire the growth during the dreary cold days! Here are some fun signs of life under my grow lights that I wanted to share. I'm getting some female flowers!!!...
Tomato blossoms
Female yellow squash
Another yellow Squash that was really ambitious! If I had these in bigger pots, I'd consider attempting to pollinate blossoms myself
My watermelon vines are beginning to climb the lights! Check out those blossoms!
The Scarlet Purslane is blossoming. We've already used up some of the Purslane, but I am saving most of what's left to be potted outside. The Scarlet Purslane doesn't taste as nice as typical weed Garden/Herb Purslane with little yellow blossoms. Herbal Purslane tastes a lot like celery and has a pleasant smooth texture. Scarlet Purslane tastes like purslane that has been dipped in pure lemon juice. It's not bad. It might actually be fun in a salad in small amounts. I'm pleased to have both varieties and will do it again.
The Ground Cherries are eager to be productive. Look at those cute pods!
And finally my little squirt helping me water our closet tomato forest Some women keep lots of shoes in their closets... I keep tomates

Thanks Moozillion!!WOW!!! You are SO resourceful!!!
I'm so glad you started this thread. I love seeing how you all grow your plants.
Yay! I'm back, I finally have your pictures, PrarieMom!
It's night, Elmo was sleeping, so I was trying not to disturb
Up top!
Strawberry! Yes! It's about to grow a flower, I'm so proud he hasn't killed it yet
Grown accidentally via tortoise turd with strawberry seeds in it
Down below!
Tomatoes! Attempt number *trails off...
These ones keeps dying on me, by various ways! Good thing they are super easy to grow back by sticking a tomato in his coir
To the foggy dark right! Itty bitty dandelion. I think it's time to take these out, since he keeps pulverizing them
Anywho, this was in response to growing viable plants from grocery store items.
I think the tomatoes would fruit, given the chance.
Strawberry is getting transplanted soon, I'm not taking chances!

And one more thing--This is a closed terrarium I started in December. It contains a baby tears plant, and what I think is algae

That is so amazing!! Everything looks sooooo good! Don't let Elmo eat too much tomato greens, I only allow Mavis to snag bites here and there. But if Elmo leaves them alone---AWESOME they look so cool in there!!!! The strawberry blows me away! So cool!Yay! I'm back, I finally have your pictures, PrarieMom!

I do have some sickly plants that I need to attempt to repot and rescue. I don't know if you remember my post a while ago about the soda bottle failure. It affected a LOT of my pumpkin and I'm worried they won't recover. I just ordered some GALLON sized pots from amazon and am going to repot them with a bit of store bagged steer manure. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll recover with all that growing space and nutrition.---We'll see!

I remember. Hopefully they will take off! I'm getting ready to plant pumpkin from our pumpkins last year. My sister builds a small hill and plants the seed in it. Then replanted them outside. This is her first year so I need to ask her how they are doing before I try it.
Here's a cool tomato video I just watched. I have up on the welded wire idea and just went to normal tomato cages. This is because I'm such a newbie! Maybe when I get better at gardening.
What? In April!I really enjoy it too! I'm going to be attempting to grow my lettuce like you do as soon as snow stops visiting
