one week ago

I started some seedlings. Exactly 1 week ago. Most of their Germination period said 7-14 days so I wasn't expecting too much..
BUT
I have pretty much total Success! Almost every single pod has some form of growth happening in it ( aside from the rosemary which I know is a hard starter )

Here are some happy onions!

I don't know if you can see that the pansies are kinda coming..

Manitoba Tomatoes 

Tumbler Tomatoes

Subarctic Tomatoes

Cucumbers! ( They came out after like 4 days )

Basil and Sage 

And then today I planted the sweetpeas outside and! Some Iris's. 

I also started some Forget me not seeds that I got from the pet expo yesterday. I will plant them in memory of all my previous pets. <3 p="">

Seedling Starts!

Started the seedlings today!
Yippy!

I will update in one week with the growth as most germination period is 7-14 days !

Wow. I'm back!

Last Year I did have a garden. It was all bought. A few rescues... and a few deaths. A lot of flowers.
But it wasn't something I was proud of.
I am proud to make little babies. Start them from seeds. Help them grow into wonderful, seedlings.
Help them go outside. Transplant them into a new space, outside. And watch them grow into successful plants, with big wonderful harvests.

So this is my plan this year. To grow SOME plants from seeds. So far I have :

Annual Bunching Onion
Earliest Mincu Cucumber
Sweet Basil
Sage
Rosemary
Sub Arctic Plenty Tomato ( Made for alberta summers! )

I plan on starting these at the end of April They will have 4+ weeks start by the time they can go outside!

I will also do Some lettuce, radishes, spinach and flowers in the ground in REAL spring.

YEY for seeds!

New Additions

So I went to my local greenhouse and picked up some plants that are on sale.
I went there because i had gone to 3 stores looking for a pepper plant.. here i finally found one.. But it had no stick to tell me what kind of pepper it is..

We shall see



These are Gypsophila

Salvia & Diascia

Dianthus & Argyranthemum

I think i'm done buying plants now.. aghaaa

FERTILIZE!

So here is my experiment ! I fertilized all my plants today with Miracle-gro all purpose fertilizer. I will see how much the plants grow in 1 week and 2 weeks and see just if the little picture on the box.. is realistic!

Here are pictures taken July 3rd.
