part 3 -sprouts

these are Brussels sprouts, i sow them 3 days ago,  happy to see them!
if you want start from the seed check part1 and part2

Gardening requires a lot of patience and the attitude of accepting failures, you plant seeds and you get sprouts out of them most of the time, but not "all" the time, that's really annoying, starting all over again is the only option and you are loosing precious growing season or missing the entire crop for that year!

so when you see sprouts coming from the seeds that's a 

sign of relief, but still you have to transplant them, protect from pests, weather and finally the tasting.....looooong road ahead:)

Brussels sprouts

i bought Brussels, garlic, pepper seeds from seed savers exchange, it is a non profit organization, they sell heirloom seeds exchanged by member's ancestors from all over the world and those seeds are dated way back in the 1800's and SSE folks are passionate and acquainted about what they are doing. when you have place, little time and patience why not buy seeds from them and start a tiny garden.



American supermarkets are 
filled with hybrid, look alike veggies and they taste like pesticides. i notice, people aware of it, but there is no other choice but accept commercial markets, especially working, busy families and due to winter months. Apples, oranges, grapes are available through out the year and they look like plastic toys in the display, no blemishes or clumsy. in small farms or back yard garden that is impossible but the choice of veggies you grow, health, taste, IS promising :)

one seed, one plant, one pot at a time.

happy gardening!
