Plant Pics!!!

[applestar]

Sorry to hear about your dog messing up your plants! I'm constantly battling my cats and I had to put up a gate the doorway to one of the SE facing rooms where I keep the kitty favorites like lettuce (they eat them!)

Do you have a West facing window? That's almost as good, especially as the daylight lengthens since the sun will eventually set north of true West by summer solstice.

Cabbage seedlings come up so quickly I'm sure you could start another batch.

Good luck!

Ok, if this works, you'll see a small section of my started tomatoes and peppers, they're setting everywhere in my breezeway at various stages of growth. They are in a southern exposure and have been under no grow lights whatsoever:

The peppers are done. They didn't survive the attack of the dog. Some of the cabbage looks ok but still really stringy. So I'm going to continue to try and save some and may start a few more.

My onions seedlings are starting to unfold!
It's so exciting, but I'm also in a panic because, all of a sudden, they're DOUBLING in height!

(Onions in egg cartons are in the back. Foreground is lettuce and English thyme.)

As I suspected, the ones that have unfolded are also growing extra-long roots!

Even though tonight's forecast is 28ºF, I moved the 3 in the egg carton to the garden (they've been hardened off for 4 days...) I have a heavily mulched bed where garlic is starting to grow. I moved the straw mulch aside and snuggled the 3 seedlings in there, then covered them with a floating row cover AND a portable clear plastic umbrella-like thingy. It's not very sturdy, but it's been useful.

My tomatoes are up and have been ushered to the garage Grow Light Area.

Peppers are juuust starting to sprout in the warm upstairs Seed Starting Area. I won't put them out in the garage for a while yet:

Here are my cabbages and head lettuces in unheated part of the Grow Light Area. Tomatoes have the prime spot toward the middle of the tubes.
