Germination
Huh?
It has been nearly 4 weeks since I started my last tray of seeds to germinate. Yellow wax peppers came up after 5 days, then a couple of Portofino squash, and so on and so forth, and for the last ten days I've had 20 or so cells not doin' nothin'. Then bang, yesterday, up came a couple of Quadrato di Asti, a couple of lemon cukes, Ice Box watermelons, and Swiss Chard. I'm using my one and two year old seeds first, and I figured that they had just gone toes up, and I was getting ready to chuck them. Now I'll leave that tray to complete what it can and start a new tray (my last one for vegetables) to complete the plants that I want, and insure that I have enough of the ones that I want (only 3 bitter melons have germinated and I want at least 5). Patience (or laziness) is a virtue. If some of your seeds didn't germinate, give them some time, if you can. They might surprise you, like they did me. 58F here today (Northern California) and I have 2 tray of repotted plants outside catching some rays. They'll come in tonight, out of the cold, and away from any stray slugs or snails. I know that I'm getting an earlier start than many of you, but when your 70F nights kick in, you leave me in the dust. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |
