A Newbie's Sprouts So Far

Pansies Johnny Jump up and Showy Primrose are all green. I'm going to _try_ to get the camera this weekend for pics. (Give me the camera mom!) Lo and behold! I have Sea Holly sprouts! My first perennials! Hooray! My unknowns are sprouting like crazy. A container of what was supposed to be purple coneflower is sprouting with I don't know what. I'll try to get that picture for you guys to ID. Also, Scabiosa Atropurpurea Chives, Bunching Onion, Turnips, and Beets are all up. Poppies and Bachelor's buttons will be going out very soon if the ground refuses to freeze for a little bit.

Lourdes...yes it is. This is the smaller 6x6. The new one is just a little bigger 8x8 but almost twice the square footage (64 square feet vs 36 square feet). That should give me lots more room for shelves and a little more floor space for the seedlings that don't get cut back! K

Judy, I mean the white nub that precedes the germination of the seed was protruding a measureable amount pretty close to 1/4 of an inch. I simply kept them refrigerated until I could plant them in the spring of 2008. I really had no choice. They were actually from a 2006 cross that was Total Commitment X (Awesome Artist x (Goldeneye x Blue Eyed Butterfly.) They didn't make the cut for planting in 2007, but I kept them anyway thinking I might give them away. We made the decision to build a house and move in March of 2007 to be nearer to my husband's job. By that time the nubs had already protruded and I decided that I would just make an experiment out of them and see how long they would remain viable. We didn't actually move into our house until December 1, 2007. I held them in the fridge from 2006 to 2008 with no further advancement of germination until Spring of 2008 when I planted them. I had ten seeds, and eight had nubs protruding. All of them germinated, but I ended up with seven seedlings from this cross due to a greenhouse accident. (It blew over on Mother's Day 2008, scrambling a few tags and wrecking some of the pots.) I hope to see them bloom this year, but who knows? I also experimented with reciprocal crosses, just to see if the babies shared certain traits or one batch of seedlings got more of something than another one did. Doesn't anyone else do this kind of goofy stuff just to see what happens? :-)

Welcome, John. This is a great place to find out how specific daylilies perform. I have learned so much by being here. It is tough to be limited on space. This year will be a bummer for me because I don't have much room to put more daylilies unless I remove something else. What a dilemma! Hope you can post some pictures of your garden. We would love to see it. Vickie

How long you are going to let them grow before you transplant lettuce in the garden? I heard lettuce seedlings are very delicate and they don't like transplanting.

jaggudada--I have never had a problem transplanting the Romaine Lettuce. I do not transplant till they are several inches tall.

Went out with camera in hand, but alas, no sprouts yet! Zn5;sowed 2/13 and 2/26. As in other areas, this winters' temps & overall behavior has fluctuated wildly here. Had 10" of new snow two weeks ago, last week two days over 60 degrees!

Even though this is off-topic, I can report that everything else in the yard is re-emerging unusually early this spring, which is worrisome because we'll likely still have killing frosts to damage new growth.

I'll post sprout pics as soon as they get here!

Here are my sproutlets! I've opened the containers as some posters have suggested since we will be having temps in the mid 70s this week. I'm glad I did, since I had a few containers showing heat stress. I sowed about 100 containers (notice all the apple juice containers...can you tell I have toddlers? haha) and about 60 have sprouted.

So here's a question, I'm totally nervous about slugs eating my little guys. Should they be okay in their containers? I'm planning on getting some diatomaceous earth to spread around them, but till then...any advice?

This is so much fun! :)
