Tiny tomato seedlings Jubilee, Camp Joy, Tiny Tim & Golden nugget are first up

I would have sworn these tomato seedlings weren't up this morning when I first checked

Happy Birthday!

Seedling update. Peppers and tomatoes are coming along. #peppers #tomatoes #seedstarting

Three weeks of growth on these cosmos 🌱

I topped them yesterday and moved them outside to start hardening off.

Do you keep putting potting up off? Limited on space?

Introducing the new slim, vertical, square-format 1-liter pot, where your seedlings can develop strong roots in a compact footprint.

Available in multiple colors.

All my poor sad onion and leek seedlings. Next year a grow light for sure will be added to my setup.

Ok, all the pepper seedlings. Up potted the second sowing today into solo cups - the third sowing is still in the one water jug. Some of the tinier seedlings I've left two together in one cup.

So far of the pepper seeds I started in Feb (2 seeds each of variety), I have 2 plants for 9/12. 1 plant for 2/12. And the sweet Bonnets I had to try again.

My recent Seed Starting season has begun
#seedstarting #fedco

A black tray holding several 4 and 6-cell inserts (which are pink, purple, and black) sits on a wire shelf under bright lights The inserts contain the seeds of several species of native plants in seed starting mix, topped with vermiculite (all of which are labelled with white water-resistant plant markers) Species include pearly everlasting, foxglove beardtongue, Canada (wild) columbine, Canada (showy) tick trefoil, bottle gentian, Culver's root, boneset, cardinal flower, pale purple coneflower, golden Alexanders, Canada goldenrod, grey goldenrod, and prairie smoke All seeds have been artificially cold stratified for several weeks and will now take at least several weeks more (and up to several months) to germinate

And now the waiting begins

Lots and lots (and lots and lots) of waiting...

Beans & peas growing in seed starting trays.

I know we're supposed to direct sow beans & peas but I tend to forget about watering them. With that being said I started some & in cells & it seems to be working out. ☺️ #patiogarden #growingbeansandpeas #seedstarting

A photo of Nicole’s seed starting set up that includes multiple grow lights over seedling trays, all filled with tiny BABEH seedlings.

YOU GUYS LOOK AT MY BABIES!! I’ve never grown plants from seed so I’m so happy with their progress! Lavender smells so good even this tiny!! Salvia, candytuft, scabiosa and asters round out the group! #seedstarting #seedlings #gardening #plants

Four day old zinnias seedlings in germination tray. They are two inches tall already.

More zinnia seedlings after four days.

Very tiny petunia seedlings in germination tray. Seeded four days ago.

This is why I like to plant zinnias. I seeded these on Sunday and here we are four days later! I also see some teensy petunia seedlings emerging today!

Garden seeds are planted, the second group of indoor microgreens are seeded and the indoor greens are baby greens. Feeling very green with all these greens and super excited for this growing season.

Osteospermum ecklonis I really love these beautiful annuals This is a pastel orange mixture I started this 9 cell and another 12 I dont recommend silicone cell trays they're very hard to clean and sanitize but I ran out of empty plastic 😅

It greatly amuses me how much African Daisy seeds look like bugs 😄

#SeedStarting #GardenSky 🪱

I've used plastic from empty soil bags to create the snails (I made 3, all with corn) and popped it into a water container like I was using for winter sowing This one is half and half broom corn (sorgum) and ornamental corn (fiesta) The other 2 have popcorn in them I don't grow sweet corn because we have a lot of young people around here who grow it and sell it inexpensively for some pocket money, and I'd rather support them Homegrown popcorn is absolutely worth growing!! The taste is incredible & it's fun to grow

Fine! I'll try a seed snail
(Read: I am out of indoor growing room)

I've never successfully started corn indoors, but a friend of mine swears by it, so no harm in trying

Since corn doesn't like having its roots disturbed, I'm hoping this will be a good solution

Sow Good: Starting Seeds With Urban Roots As March settles in with its ever-changing weather, the Market Garden team begins to germinate our summer crops. It’s crucial for us to get a head start on some of our seeds early on in the spring. Lo...

We’re grateful to be able to use Metro State University's GROW-IT Center greenhouse. The greenhouse makes it possible for us to grow the tens of thousands of plants that we need every year. 🌱

Several small pots and seed trays filled with dark potting soil, each marked with a white plastic knife used as a plant label. The labels are written in pink marker and read "Chervil," "Chervil," "Dill," and "Sorrel," with a partially visible fifth label on the right. The pots sit against a pink fabric background.

Next round of seeding: Herbs just getting started — chervil, dill, and sorrel labeled with repurposed plastic knives.

March is  the Time to Start Seeds Indoors

#mgnv #seedstarting #vegetablegardening If you like to be able to choose exactly the vegetables you want to eat and grow in your garden, March is the time to start your seeds indoors. 

A seedling tray filled with broccoli babies and behind it is a tray filled with onions growing in red Solo cups. Out of frame are several more trays filled with more onions, cabbage, lettuce, celery, and various flowers and herbs. All the trays are on my dining table.

Nights are still in the 20s (ºF) here so it's too cold to let these plant babies stay outside overnight. 🌱

I'm sick of carrying all these trays back and forth every day 😆
