Within the last
month I have start to plant my seeds indoors, that way I have great transplants
for outside in the spring. So far I have planted thyme, curly parsley, flat parsley, sweet
spanish onions, leeks, chives, oregano, lemon basil, sweet basil, red onions,
sweet spanish onions, and artichokes. Here is an update on
what is going on in my basement for my spring garden. :)
 |
| My Leek transplants |
My leeks out grow
there mini green house, therefore I had to transplant them into bigger pots.
The pots they are in now they will remain in until they are planted in the
garden.
 |
| Sweet Basil on top, lemon basil on the bottom |
4 out of 6 of my
lemon basil are starting to sprout. 5 out of 6 cell of my sweet basil started
to spout. I am thinking about grabbing a packet of purple basil to have in the
garden too.
 |
| My chive, oregano, artichokes, sweet spanish onion seeds starting to grow |
My chive seeds only
3 out of the 6 pellets have started to grow, but I'll give them more time. All
my oregano seeds have started to sprout. Artichokes seeds are starting to come
up (2/6). I had to replant my spanish onion seeds, because the others didn't
come up. 11 out of the 12 of the new sweet spanish onion seeds have spouted.
 |
| Here are my red onion, curly parsley, flat parsley, leeks, thyme seeds that are all coming up. |
Red Onion seeds
stared to spout (8/12). All the curly parsley seeds have spouted and need to be
transplanted. Two more of my pellets with leek seed have spouted; I don't think
the last one will. The two leeks need to be transplanted. All the thyme
has sprouted. 3/3 of my pellets of flat parsley have sprouted, and need to be transplanted.
Hope you enjoyed
seeing what I'm growing what are you growing to transplant outside?

Nice article to get the head start. It’s an incredibly satisfying feeling to make a tiny seed grow into a beautiful plant for us and our family to enjoy. It also can be a tremendous cash saver since plants can be expensive when purchasing them all at your local greenhouse. Especially if you want to grow specialty or heirloom seeds that are hard to find.

ReplyDeleteMak~ I agree plant from seeds can be a saver on the piggy bank. I sometimes spilt seed with a friend because I don't need 250 strawberry seeds and it cost a lot less.
