Lavender is a go

My lavender seeds are finally starting to sprout. I have three of them starting to come through. They are too small to look exciting in a photograph, so no picture. But I'm feeling pretty cocky about my seed sprouting skills now.

Just one day's growth

Look at how quickly the arugula grew just overnight. This really is easy!

So close to being yummy.

I only hope my lavender seeds sprout soon so I know if I'm doing something right with them. Yesterday my dog sort of trampled them because they were right where he stands to bark at other dogs walking by. I set them right again, but I'm not sure if they are going to sprout.

I sprouted something!

So after the great cauliflower disaster of '13, I looked to the future and decided to learn how to sprout seeds. But first some other good news! Yesterday I harvested some of my kale and my friend and I made delicious kale chips. They were perfectly normal kale leaves. It was pretty exciting eating something I grew for the first time.
Hopefully I will get to repeat that coup soon with arugula. I put some arugula seeds in a clay pot on my sunny balcony a few days ago. I kept it moist and today as i was watering it I noticed that some of them had sprouted! In a little while longer I'll be able to harvest them as microgreens.

They are hard to see, but they exist!

When I was at the store buying arugula seeds I noticed some lavender. I made some little origami pots and planted the seeds in them. Now I'm keeping them watered in a sunny window and hoping for the best. I love lavender so having some of my own plants would be amazing.
