I purchased a $3 soil test & we found out we have high alkaline & high NPK. I am still not sure if that is good or bad. I hope our plants like it!

Watching our plants grow
It is enjoyable to watch these beautiful plants grow - I would say it is a mixture of awe and hope. Damian paces back and forth watching our plants grow. I think he is adorable!
New seedlings
Only three days old and beautiful little leaves start to emerge. We have baby zinnias, peppers, marigolds, and herbs.

Will peer pressure affect plants?
So Damian made the move to buy a few transplants from the store today because we were both concerned about the fate of some of our skinny stalked seedlings being transplanted outdoors this upcoming weekend. Part of me wanted to remain purist & only use our transplants we grew from seeds, but I realize it is good to have backup plants. Afterall, I do want a successful garden. Besides, maybe our skinny stalked seedlings will give into peer pressure and grow big overnight.... One could hope.

New experiment in propagation
We waited a while to thin the peppers & I decided to see if planting the cut seedlings would create roots.
