Time to do a catch-up on the seedlings planted a few weeks ago, and the seedlings sown just last Monday.

You can read about the first seeds planted in 2023 here.

Here are the lisianthus, from 4 weeks on the left, to 8 weeks. I pricked out the seedlings so now each seedling has its own cell. It’s a beautiful sight!

Next the Sweet Peas planted Feb. 5. I pinched them back two weeks ago, but now they look scruffy because naughty Cinder plays with them. And eaten a few leaves. I have them on a higher shelf now, ha.

Can you see the orchids blooming in the back? Gorgeousness!

Seeds planted Feb. 20

They are 18 days old!

(The very far right is the Lisianthus tray.)

In the middle, from front to back, are Feverfew, Black-eyed Susan ‘Prairie Sun‘ (which is actually green-eyed!), and Stock. I’m especially pleased with the Stock germination- 95% of the seeds germinated, yayyy!

In the plastic bowl are ranunculus, and behind them are Snapdragons. They’re growing so tall ♥.

Here are Impatiens planted on Feb. 20 and the Begonias seeded on Feb. 5. I pricked out the larger Begonias this week too, so they have their own cells. All of these are destined for my daughter-in-law’s garden.

The Impatiens were a 99¢ packet, with terrible germination. Lesson learned.

Seeds Sowed March 6

Quite a few have already come up and it’s time to remove the heat domes.

The Snapdragons have only a few tiny seedlings, which is nothing to worry about. They usually take 10 days or more to sprout. Pretty soon I’ll have 128 snap babies!

Woo-hoo! Look at these trays!

On the left, front to back, are Bunny Tails, Oregano, and Mahogany Splendor Hibiscus. The Bunny Tail seeds are 3 years old now, and they still had great germination.

On the right are Yarrow, Statice, Tomato, Black-eyed Susan Chim-Chiminee, regular Black-eye Susan, and Poppies. I accidently got some Statice seeds in with the Yarrow. Oops!

Tomorrow I’ll be sowing Dara, Cosmos, Bachelor’s Buttons, a second round of Feverfew, and a new packet of Impatiens.

Do you start your own plants, or pick them up at your local Farmstand/Grower? I love to hear your stories if you grow your own!

Have a great week, garden friends 🌼.
