Starting some seeds and some good news

First let me say I am very annoyied with my mom she KNOWS as well as anyone else does I work 3rd and that's the schedule I know well while I was trying to sleep sle decided to barge in and unplug *everything* my seedling heating mat which I never thought had exposed wires and my old shop lamp which again I never thought was an issue yet she claims they can start fires?! That seedling mat is only a couple years old it may not have gone into the attic every year or some outher "away" that she then forgets about untill it's time to sell stuff because she again is running out of money for whatever her excuse is this time and now she is saying a SINGLE 100 daylight cfl is "too bright" for the foyer again I call bull it was on a timer to start AND she keeps 2 75 watt bulbs in the bathroom which *shocked* is actually about the same size as the foyer so that can't be it eighter I think she just hates me doing anything I enjoy but that's a narcissistic mother for you which she is 100% can't let me be happy has to keep me pissed and childish if I am happy she twists it into a reason NOT to be happy! I kid you not when angel died she wanted to put gloves on to treat my kitty like she was CONTAMINATED! That HURT I know my kitty had nothing that I'd get because I cared for her so much and within 6 hours we had her buryied again not KNOWING the cod hurts too one can only guess at this point I should have said "let's go back to the humane society" asked if they could find a cod and asked her body back as well so we can take care of it 

Ok so on a more posative note (the rose she is planted under is called "peace" and I wanna expand that area into a garden for her) as I said I was starting or trying to start some seeds yes this early and yup it is early for us but about time for tomatoes and peppers if you want good strong plants by summer and planting I have no doubt I'll still be buying some stuff from millaegers or wherever I am/go as I allways do but these should give me a few plants to play with too  

The planted are (by carton/row just typing up what I have on my notepad) 
1-1 apple pepper 
1-2 herb bomb (trying one see how well it does or dosent work) 
1-3 cotton 
2-1 yellow chamomile 
2-2 mammoth dill 
2-3 sweet datil pepper
3-1 temptation strawberry 
3-2 carnation 
3-3 cilantro 
4-1 white grape 
4-2 fooled ja pepper 
4-3 hot cherry bomb pepper 
5-1 guava 
5-2 pomegranate 
5-3 goji 

Flat 2 

1-1 Concord grape 
1-2 sunberry 
1-3 fireball tomato 
2-1 green/purple basil (y'all saw momma last year in pics) 
2-2 boxwood basil 
2-3 Abraham Lincoln tomato 
3-1 striped pepper tomato 
3-2 coyote tomato 
3-3 Jennie's basil 
4-1 tulsi holy basil 
4-2 stevia 
4-3 pineapple sage 
5-1 German chamomile 
5-2 sage 
5-3 lemongrass 

I still have 2 more flats to plant as well and as I work at a resturant these flats are actually egg cartons the 2.5 doz sheets I think (we get 15 doz to a case it's heavy but not that bad anymore lol) so I know most are actually herbs and will be up pretty quick I also know I can't leave them in those planters for long after those I have my self-watering mat out that I can atleast toss them on help establish better and that as I don't have much for "pots" past my coir things that I rather don't like I may have to get/find some plastic ones with holes or something because I don't wanna fuss with half rubbish pot later in the year 


Ok so I plugged the stuff back in and changed the time (oh it's 1:30 not 1 oh well) we will see in morning what happens but ATM here's what it looks like 



Flat 2 is on the left (main clue the herb bomb in flat 1 is on the right side) also that dirt looks kinda light to me I know it's expand-n-grow not seedling mix (I love the expand-n-grow indoors it's like perfect!) so I did add a small cup with some water try to boost humidity it's on the heating mat ATM so we will see how that goes 

I also have 2 more of those to plant but I'll fuss over it later gotta figure what else I wanna plant and that as it's really stupid early for beans peas and melons and that  

I also like a week or so ago went thru and cleaned up the greenhouses (thought I posted on it guess not) 


I have faith that goji is still alive just sleeping and similar with the bay but I'm not certain 


And here we have what looks like pepper seeds growing we will defo see how they turn out  


I didn't think the aloe would look so leggy but outher things that were still alive did suprise me like the bay trees one looks dead but I think it's still alive the outher is defo still alive the fruits I don't know what they are but it looks like they still want atleast to live so they are alive lol 


Some mints are somehow still alive as well and you can see the lighter on the aloe very easily there it too needs a TON more light then it was getting 

So we will see how things go in the morning my guess is nothing will change but never know that's for certain who knows? We might clean up the WHOLE house so it's ALL puppy proof and re-do the greenhouses and even buy me a futon to sleep on (I place that at .053% chance of happening) but here's to hoping shit works out
