My First Few Seedlings Sprout

This is exciting, Lydia, to see the first seedlings sprout and grow. I hope the snow in your area will melt soon, so you can go gardening again.
ReplyDeleteHELLO Eva, I hope it will melt soon. I'm so excited that they are sprouting. It didn't take long. I should have 60 marigold plants for my veggie garden this year.
ReplyDeleteAll of my weeds sprouted a couple of weeks ago. I guess this weekend is the one to start now that basketball season is over.
ReplyDeleteHello Oswegan, It's a perfect weekend to for you to do all your green thumb work. You must be bumbed that basketball season's over now.
ReplyDeleteWe've got weeds galore here in Phoenix, too! Results of a wet winter.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to watch your seedlings grow!
Hello Amber, It's going to be weeding time soon enough here. I enjoy when my flowers and vegetables grow, but I hate weeding.
ReplyDeleteI get all excited by sprouting life! I haven't started anything inside this year at all although I wintered over a large basil plant so I'm a litle ahead on that game. We're planning a big family communal garden this year. We've never shared one before, so it'll be interesting..
ReplyDeleteHello Linda, A community garden sounds wonderful. I think it's great that your ahead of the game with your basil plant. I plan on starting my basil seeds indoors this week.
ReplyDeletelydia...you grow the basil inside the whole time? And you get big bunches of it all year long? Do you need to have it right in front of a lot of outdoor light?
ReplyDeleteHello Z, I start basil seeds indoors around now. I do it the same way I start marigold seeds. The only difference is that I use one big pot to start my basil seeds and seperate them by hand when it comes time to plant. When May comes around. I slowly start placing the large pots of basil, along with the mini peat pots of marigolds in my front porch a few hours a day to get them use to the outdoors. I gradually increase their time outside til they are out there all the time until planting begins. One inmortant thing to remember when your first getting your seedlings use to the outdoors, is not to place them in direct sunlight, because they can burn. Once they've hardened off some, you can start placing in direct sunlight gradually.
