Seedlings

Today is day 16 for the first batch of seeds. Everything has some true leaves out and the largest plants are ready to be potted up soon.

We had really good germination with everything but the Black from Tula. We put a bunch of Tula seeds in moist paper towel and baggie. Even those took some time to sprout and yesterday we put 4 sprouted seeds with roots (no green yet) into dirt.

I think there are about 25 plants at this time.

In about 2 more weeks we are going to start a second round of plants; those plants will be 6 weeks on June 1st, which is the time that most of my friends and family are interested in getting started.

Also need to think about putting in some herbs and I want to try some okra seeds that I was given last year.

Sprouts

We had our first sprouts 4 days after planting. All of the plants are up and under the lights.

Here are some tiny sprout pictures.
