Lettuce and Cabbage

My seedlings are germinating! :) Still waiting on the Jalapenos to germinate, but they are all in a much warmer environment now. Its 81.8 degrees :). I've been thinking about other seeds I need to order soon. I want to grow some ever berry straw berries. They are smaller, but produce berries all year round instead of just one month.
Check Out the Red Cabbage!!


I spent last night and today re organizing and cleaning my room and I'm quite happy with it now :) I was looking through all the food and stuff I got for Christmas and theres really alot of great stuff there! Now I just need a friend to come hang out and snack with me lol. Any takers? Sigma Theta meeting tomorrow so Anthony Will be moving back in. He doesn't turn down good food and fellowship often lol. I want to wake up in the morning tomorrow. I went to bed around 6 this morning so I'll have to sleep alot earlier tonight

Cold on Germination rates

The cold is slowing my garden down too much!! Jalapenos are supposed to germinate Jan.7-17 Lettuce is supposed to germinate Jan.9-16 and Cabbage should germinate Jan. 7-16. Not awful yet but defiantly having an impact. I am usually able to germinate seeds before the minimum number of days. It has been pretty cold in my room at home over Christmas break (60's-70's) Hopefully returning to school will help jump start the seeds. My room at school is usually 80ish no problem. Small stone houses tend to be easier to heat up fast. Pictures will be up as soon as something starts to grow if not sooner.
I am so ready to hang out with more friends and am looking forward to new opportunities this semester will provide. This semester I am seeking to find more inner joy in my life, and improvement on time management. With all these science classes time management is huge if I want to have fun and hang out too :) So I want to know how my readers are doing. Are you going to grow a garden? What do you want to grow? Do you need any gardening advice? What are you plans for this semester in your life? How are you going to improve your self and grow closer to God?
