Garden progress - week 1
Seeds were planted one week ago today in peat pots, and incubated with plastic hoods while sitting on a seedling heat mat. The seeds in the black tray on the left have yet to sprout, and are still covered with the hood when not posing for photos. The close-up on the right features the tomato and basil seedlings.
Bottom left are peppers and herbs. Bottom right are the zukes, cukes, gourds, squash, and pumpkin. If you look closely, you'll see that a few of these sprinters are beginning to show their first true leaves. While the smaller seedlings are still sitting on the heat mat, but outside of the hood, I've removed the bigger-leaved plant tray from the heat mat to try and prevent them from getting too "leggy".
Three varieties of peas were planted directly into the ground today. Before planting, I soaked the seeds in water and innoculant. I'll post a photo as soon as there's any green showing above ground.
