Thanks for the link to the seed companies!
We, too have been dealing with unseasonable cold and expect more in coming days, which means our babies are still in cups and boxes. We’ve been taking them out on good days to get “sun lunch,” as my Darlin says.
My baby seedlings are still surviving, most of them. The Great White Northern bean sprouts are really getting with it. Fava beans are doing well, but not crazy like the GWNs.
HELP!!!! My parsley and tomato sprouts are very small and at the two-leaf stage. Does it take these a while to get more than the two leaves?
The sweet potato sprout is still happy and overbalanced the little cup it was in, so Darlin’ put it in a soup can.
The amaranths are advancing, and ready to get outside once the bad weather passes.
One of the okra seedlings bit the dust, and we really don’t know why. It may have been damaged during being knocked around when taking it outside.
The sunflowers are happy, but one or two of them are bent over from searching for light. We have tried to remedy that, but it’s hard to without grow lights.
Learning to garden is a fun challenge, but full of humbling setbacks. I’m so glad for this thread so I can find such inspiration and encouragement!
This is my first year for starting seedlings. I have always before just waited till the weather was warm enough to plant directly in the ground.
However, since we had such a horrible dry and hot summer last year, I wanted to jump start so as to get some things harvested before July and August dog days.
So I am just a learnin’ about it. When you plant stuff outdoors and the weather is great it seems to me they just magically grow like the dickens.LOL
