It's been a little over a week since the new seeds were planted.  Although the progress thus far isn't remarkable, it is progress nonetheless.

I'm thinking of using a grid format for the posts, so I'll give it a try this week.  Let me know if the grid works.

The wheatgrass seems happy.  Initially, some mold began growing; but it's stopped now.  Important fact to remember: airflow is important.  I keep a small fan running for the ebb-and-flow MegaGarden, so that standing water evaporates quickly.

Although it's not terribly different, here's this week's photo:
