Here’s what I’m working on…
The 2 beds I have planted (all from seeds) are looking good so far. The first bed has tomatoes & marigolds. The second is an assortment of flowers- zinnia's, snapdragons, hollyhocks. In the grow tent I have 3 trays. 1: cucumbers, peppers, squash, basil, and cucamelons (can’t wait to listen to the recent Q & A replay!). I think I may finally be getting a squash to germinate! If not, I’ll try direct sow. Question: I’ve since heard cucumbers don’t like to be transplanted due to fragile roots. What a bummer since they look so healthy! I’m still going to try. If I fail, I’ll try direct sow. Are there any tips for transplanting them? 2: Zinnias & Dahlias. What I’ve learned is it matters where you get your seeds from! All of the ones that didn’t germinate (except 2) are from the same seller on Etsy. The one row that did germinate is from a different seller on Etsy. 3: Switchgrass. I dunno what I’m doing with that many, but they are cheap & easy to grow from seeds. Maybe I’ll try and sell them when they are more mature? It’s been a huge learning process and I think an overall success. I have Megan to thank for it! Also thanks to our community for all of the great questions, it’s all helped me learn! 🌱💐🌾
