Sprouts and Peas

So I appologize for not posting my sprouts every day.  Seems a bit redundant so I am just going to talk about them at the end.  I have been eating my sprouts and they are delicious but not long and thick like you can get at the grocery store.  I think I should do them the other way next time in 2 plastic containers with a weight on them - apparently it's the weight that helps them grow longer and thicker.  Here is a picture of a few of my sprouts.  The seed cases are a bit of pain to separate from them at this stage but I figure I should eat them as it had been a week. 

I also plan on starting my peas outside.  I have sprouted them inside between 2 paper towels right now just to make sure the seeds are ok and should be planting them in the next few days.  It has been nice and sunny but cool out there so I think it's perfect pea weather.  At least I hope so.  I am attempting to sprout 32 plants, 8 plants per 1foot square grid.  Should give me lots of delicious peas.  They are the Sugar Snap Peas from Ontario Seed Company.

Likely when I plant my peas I am also going to plant my leeks.  Maybe they'll do better outside as they are certainly looking pretty sad inside.  Maybe it's too warm for them.  I am thinking I may also just bit the bullet and buy a fancy grow light for my tomatoes and peppers.  I need them in tip top form :)  my fishtank just isn't cutting it.
