The plant crew of 2022!
The plant crew of 2022 is finally coming together!
It was so funny; we were at our local greenhouse last weekend & I admired their beautiful veggie plants. I told my son, "This is what happens when you don't wait until April 15 to start your seeds!"
My plant crew seedlings are still super tiny, but they're coming along. I have been taking them out of the greenhouse every day to get a little sun. The temperatures here have been fantastic & they're only getting warmer this week. We're also going to have a stretch where it will not rain for 5 days! I'm looking forward to that!
In other planting news, the little greenhouse that could is coming along nicely. I dug some supplies out from the basement & moved some plastic shelving out to the greenhouse for storage. I need to do a greenhouse tour because it's just the cutest. It's such a small space, but it works really well for me.
Seedling mode is in full swing over here. I'm slowly 'leveling up' some plants--moving them into bigger containers as they grow. I love coming out & looking at the little ' glow-ups' of the plants every morning!
This year has been super weird for my seedlings. I didn't have a great success rate with a lot of them. I still have tons of plants, but I was expecting more.
Since I use the peat pellets for seed starting, I put all the ones that didn't come up in their own flat, so I could reuse the pellets if needed. Imagine my surprise when some of them finally started coming up! It was way past their germination time! So now I have peppers & tomatoes that I have no idea what they are!
Flowers
- Zinnia
- Echinacea
- Gazania
- Various Sunflowers
I also got bored one night & seed started cucumbers and butternut squash! We'll see how that goes!
So that's the official plant crew of 2022!
