Preparing for summertime Mediterranean beds

The garden is not only an outdoor activity. There is a lot of preparation indoor to be done in preparation for the Summer Harvest season. Here are first graders planting seeds of Eggplants, Tomatoes and Basil in pots made of recycled containers or reused containers. Eggplants, Tomatoes and Basil are basic ingredients for many delicious Mediterranean recipes like Parmigiana, Sicilian penne dish, Ravioli staffed with Eggplant in tomato and basil sauce, Ciabotta Abruzzese (my place of origin in Italy), etc. Gnammy!! I'm getting hungry.

And after about 10 days, here are our little baby sprouts, that will be ready to be plant in the garden as soon as the temperature will become warmer.
