April (snow) Showers

“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,  so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11 (ESV)

Weather report for April 7, 2011: This morning we woke up to approx 2.5 inches of fresh snow. Tonight I found the tomatoes have spouted. I missed taking a picture on Wednesday and missed the transition picture from seed to sprout. (I also bumped the GardenCam while examining the plants.)

April 2, 2011: GardenCam

Current outside temperature in Twin Falls, Idaho on April 2, 2011 is 39: Expected low of 28. Inside temperature in the state-of-the-art Bully Barn 58. Seeds are planted for tomato, cucumber, snow pea, and a large variety of flowers are planted, watered and under the light. This year I invested in a $15 ArcSoft webcam to mount next to the Jiffy planters so I can take random photos from the same location and watch the seedlings sprout. I will post some random snap shots. I will attempt a time lapse photography over the next several weeks as they grow. I will secure plot 23 at the College of Southern Idaho's community garden this coming week.

Here is the first snapshot form the GardenCam.


I will feature one of my favorites, the cherry tomato.
I don't see anything growing yet.
