I can has SPROUTS!!!

Apparently the greenhouse doohickey works as advertised. I wasn't expecting any signs of growth until Sunday at the earliest (aka, two weeks from planting), but I saw two tiny pepper sprouts unfurling their leaves as of 7:30am this morning, and two other bitty stem arches just nudging up from the soil. I took a picture, of course, which I will post sometime after I get home this afternoon -- possibly with an accompanying second photo to show how much things have changed in under twelve hours, because I am quite sure things will have changed. They grow so fast at the start. :D

Okay, now back to pretending to work. ;)

ETA: And here are the pictures! As you can see, three more sprouts peeked into view by dinnertime. :)

Green things! My new porch-plants arrived today, and I'm so excited over these tiny shreds of green.
