Seedlings

Seedlings I started in late March/early April. Getting them acclimated to being outside in the wind. Will plant some in pots and some in my garden. It has been really fun to watch them grow the past few months.

 

The alyssum is supposed to get tiny purple flowers. Thought they might work for doll photos :)

 

The vinca is for my first lab in Sept (a cancer fighting rain forest native). This is the third generation I grew from seed. I save the seeds each Fall. Must germinate them in the dark.

 

Dill (annual herb)

Lavender (perennial)

Vinca (Rosey periwinkle) (annual flower)

Alyssym (annual flower)

 

Tips: Start seeds in ziplock bags with wet paper towels, hang in sunny window (not vinca), transfer to pots once they germinate. Use seed starting medium. Once planted in moist soil, water weekly from bottom (pour water into basin, allow plants to absorb what they can for about 12-24 hours, pour off excess).

 

I also used indoor grow lights and kept them really close to the lights to prevent them from getting too leggy as they tried to reach the light.
