My "recycled" indoor garden

The tomato seeds were salvaged from my cutting board, when I was cutting up tomatoes from our Full Circle Farm box, the soil was about 50% recycled from worm casings integrated into Pro-Mix, and, well, you can see that most of the containers in these photos were salvaged and would have ended up in the trash.

Some of these plants were started as early as October 4, 2010. You can see that there isn't phenomenal growth, but our daylight hours have been pretty diminished due to our Alaskan winter. However, the days are getting longer and my little tomato plants are growing bigger every day. You may also notice some other plants mixed in - pepper plants that I started from seeds salvaged from peppers I cut up. I'm so glad that my kids like vegetables!
