Life!!!!

It might be kind of lame to do all these different posts on the same day, but I wanted to break them up into useful posts, instead of one giant blog.

Once I had my pump and drain set up and one grow bed full of gravel, I planted a few test seeds.  The cycling kit arrived the next day, so I wasn't really depriving my future plants of nutrients for long.

Lettuce and bean sprouts appeared only four days after planting.  Once the beans sprout, they grow at an amazing rate.  Well, maybe it's not amazing to the seasoned gardener, but it's cool to me to see everyday.  :-)

Here are a few pictures.  I tried to line them up better, but I gave up.  :-P
