Think it's time to transplant yet? : )

last modified: 7 years ago
I asked my friend who's been caring for my plants and rose cuttings how everything was doing since he'd indicated the cuttings were getting big and maybe it's time to tranplant them. Here's the pic he sent. My response was "Do you think?" Now if only I could remember what it is. I'm beyond thrilled with these cuttings as they were all my first try using Connie from Hartwood Rose's method. Practically 100% success. Yeah!

timing with transplants
Comments (6)"2nd I don't believe gardening is fun if you go thru all the work to plant and grow the stuff, and get no results. If everything dies, or things don't turn out the way you'd like, I don't consider it fun." We've all had this happen. It's the way we learn what works and what doesn't. No one can give you an exact date to start your plants. No one knows what the weather is going to do. I'm in a zone a bit colder than yours and I start my toms and peppers in mid-March. I pot them up to 8oz cups, then to 16oz cups before hardening them off about mid-May. As soon as the night temps stay around 50 degrees, I plant them out into their final containers or raised bed. The timing is going to be a little different each year. Maybe you should use the money you would spend on a "mini greenhouse" and purchase seedlings(at least some of them) from a nursery or garden center your first time around and slowly get into starting from seed. It may take some stress off. You can also Winter Sow some of your seeds if you don't have a lot of room for potting up. Check out the Winter Sowing forum for more info.

Comments (4)Ladies, Luckily I learned at a young age to pay myself first and did so my entire life. The bugs are still there in high numbers in some places just like 100 years ago, but with a few exceptions you have to do some work to get to them now. The harder they are to get to (and so the least influenced by mankind) the better generally. Why I climbed so many very tall mountains (to 18,000') and hiked miles for weeks into so many wilderness areas. As for the desert temps, yes it can be real serious. But it is also doable with some preparation and common sense when there. We are the real wimps of the natural world, not the leps. Growing up on a working ranch had me head over heels into what made all living things tick from a very early age. But there were other influences as well, including many great writings. A watcher at the Pond (Franklin Russell) is one that got to me for sure many times in my pre teens, so was the adventures and writings of John Wesley Powell during his explorations and expeditions in the Rockies and down the Green and Colorado rivers where I lived. But I still have my first editions of what was probably the most influential to me from the late 50's on, and what took me head on into Marine Biology. Rachel Carson's four books naturally. I had only been to the ocean a couple of times on family vacations before I moved to California right after high school graduation, but had read and reread her four books dozens of times during around a ten year period before then. While about all natural things and what man is doing to them the marine flora and fauna parts simply captivated me as new and unexplored species I just had to get my hands on. So I did. :) Larry...See MoreShould I transplant my babies yet?
Comments (10)Hi Bill, I have all my babies tagged, but because it's so hot here I have to water everyday because they are in such small pots they dry out quickly. My ID system isn't as intricate as yours because alot of my seeds are from unnamed plants. Not to be a smarty pants, but Cindy Moragne # 23 could walk up and slap me in the face and I wouldn't know who she was! LOL Guess I gotta go break my book out now! I label with "pink seeds" or "rainbow seeds" and the date I planted and where they came from. Can you register a new plant if you don't know the parentage? (not that I'm ever gonna be close to doing that!) When I transplant my babies, will the roots get less damage if I water first or if I do it when they are dry? Will probably do that this weekend. Thanks for the info on the fertilizing. I don't think I have been giving them enough! Jerri : )...See MoreShould I transplant yet?
Comments (12)Well, I transplanted my peppers today. Two trays are now 4 trays. I did notice a few that have obviously been overwatered. Their stems were weak and they were not as healthy as the others. Any idea why some cells are dry and some stay wet? I bottom water. Since the tomatoes are growing so fast I'll probably need to transplant them in a week or two. Good luck RJ. Rick...See More
