Planting Seeds

We planted our seeds this weekend. Let's hope they grow. The hubster wet the soil in a bucket before we put them into our planting tray and then I took the seeds and dumped a few into each hole and covered it over. There is no way it could be this easy. I doubt they will grow. Let's wait and see.
The tray is sitting on my window sill on a heating pad covered by a plastic top to act like a green house.

I planted. Broccoli, Radish, Cabbage, Lettuce, Peppers and Onion. These are my "March" seeds.
I don't really want any of these in my garden but the first year is always a "tester" to see what grows and what doesn't. I also planted things that were supposed to go directly in the ground... like Onion, Lettuce and Cabbage. They are not supposed to be transplanted, but as usually I don't follow directions well, and most likely set myself up for failure. I also have peas... which I do want in my garden. These are supposed to be planted directly in the ground... but we are still having a frost, and I want to wait till mid march. I also havent put up any trellis yet. Oh man... I'm nervous about this. I'm not going to lie, I will be "ticked off" if this fails.


UPDATES:!
Feb, 27, 2013: Have a few shoots already! 4 radish, 1 cabbage, and 2 broccoli have started shoots. It's working! It's working!!! whoop whoop.  We are only 4 days in... I think I might have planted too soon.  Who knew my thumb was so green?!


Seeds were planted on Feb, 24, 2013. 

I got this for my birthday from the hubster... let's see if it works. Who knows... if I get a big yield maybe next year will be a real green house.
