Well here we go again. Another season of seed starting indoors. On March 28 and 29 I started some tomatoes: Lycopersicon "Yellow Pear" and an Italian favorite of mine, "San Marzano". Then a large tray of 2 varieties of chard: Beta vulgaris var. cicla "Bright Lights" that's the one with the different colored stems and red stemed "Rhubarb". I also started a small tray of Portulaca "Magic Carpet". It is not an edible yet it is very colorful and drought tolerent. It will look great on the roof top deck. The picture is of my seedlings on a baker's shelf that has 2 sets of florecent lights to give the seedlings all the "sun" they need.
