All seedlings have sprouted!

Last week I sowed 30 Beefsteak Tomato seeds and several pots of Basil. This morning I checked and the little seedling are peeking through the soilless mix. Such a happy sight. I will now remove the plastic film, which makes sort of a little temporary greenhouse, and place the seedlings very close to a grow light. My Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbages, Broccoli, and California Wonder Peppers plants are growing rapidly. The cabbage and broccoli seeds were sown about 5 weeks ago and will be set out in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. These plants will take a light frost. The tomato, pepper and basil plants freeze readily and must be planted when the soil has thoroughly warmed.
