Seedlings coming up like gangbusters!

Post by GrannyNanny »

I have twelve square 12-packs of seeds planted downstairs under my lights, and every one of them is showing green leaves above the soil! Last year was a total bust -- NO seedlings of any sort, and the folks I sent seeds to didn't get any either. Thought I was losing my touch, but there they are, as proof that I can still get the darn things to grow. Lots of fun in the greenbasement from now on! Phyllis

I'll post pics for sure when the seedlings are big enough for it to make a difference. Right now they're just a lot of little blades,some with variegation and some not. Quite a few are seedlings from hostas that I registered this past summer, so I'm enjoying seeing what kind of progeny they produce. Even if I don't get many keepers, it's such fun playing in the dirt when the weather is so crummy outside! Phyllis
