Last night...

We discovered sprouts!  Yay!  This stuff is actually working!

Tiny, yes, but sprouts nontheless.  I feel silly being so excited about it.  They're only cucumbers, forcryingoutloud!  But, really, they are so much more than "just" cucumbers.... they are the first physical manifestation of this dream of a farm.  We're making it happen.  This photo actually makes me want to think they are encouraging each other

C'mon, little seedlings!  You can do it!
