I have a tray full of wet Peat Pellets sitting on a shelf over the kitchen sink (thank you Sweetie). There is a grow light attached to the cabinet directly above them (thank you again Sweetie). And for the last couple of days I've been carefully watering them and making sure that they get enough light and they've just sat there looking like little plugs of dirt wrapped in gauze.
This morning I peaked into their container and saw little shoots just starting to poke through the top of the dirt. It was the first confirmation that there is life in there. Soon I'm going to have a tray full of little plants clammoring for more space. Then the real gardening will begin.

We wouldn't want the neighbors to see half of what we are up to so I doubt the grow lights will make that much of a difference. Of course if Herr Ashcroft does decide to drop in, I can always offer him some nice fresh mint tea while he searches for evidence of deviousness.
