Happy March 1st! Waking up this morning to a balmy 5 degrees outside......yes, just 5 !!! In two days we are looking at another big snowstorm, maybe something again come Thursday. Yes we are all totally done with winter!
A couple of days ago I spoke about putting calendula seed in paper toweling to pre-sprout. Well after I did my blog I decided to put blue sage seed in paper toweling also to pre-sprout them. Hoping I get something from both because I plan on putting those plants in my campground site garden.
Because only 1 sage seed sprouted, planted a few more. Not that I use alot of sage, but am sure I can either sell or give away any extra plants. I did see that the petunia seeds are sprouting very nicely! This morning saw another lettuce seedling coming up, ashley red leaf. Those older seeds will take a while to sprout. Looks like the old mountain phlox seeds were too old, they never sprouted. Not surprised. Still have alot of other older seeds that I will plant here and there to see what is still viable.
Was just checking the temps in the room I have my plant stand in. Seems to be going no lower than 60 degrees - being the room is not directly heated I am good with that. This will keep the seedlings from growing way too fast. The lights are on from 6am to about midnight, which also helps keep the temp pretty decent.
We are going up to check on our trailer in PA despite the cold temps. With more snow coming that way too, want to make sure any remaining snow on it, especially slide outs, is taken off. Yes we are crazy, but need a day trip! LOL!!! Besides I may find more seed to buy (yes did buy more online the other day). Speaking of buying, bought some strawberry plants and shallot bulbs at Walmart of all places, but they are pretty fresh and the selection was still good. Now to figure out where to put a strawberry planter in the yard! LOL!!!
Time for coffee........have a wonderful day everyone, keep warm and keep planting!!!!
