Day 7: We have Roma Tomatoes
Here's what everything looks like this morning:I was a little worried about my tomato plants. I fingered the soil to loosen it a bit because I was afraid the lady at the nursery was right about top soil being "too heavy". Look! Seedlings sprouting up everywhere! About 13 that have actually grown above soil level.
Basil: Day 7 (4th day after germination) Still going strong and starting to lean towards the sun, so I have been rotating it. That keeps the plants from overreaching and getting long and skinny.
Grape Tomatoes Day 7 (3rd day after germination) As soon as I took the plastic wrap off, they sprouted and got have tall. There are 10 seedlings thus far.
Mesclun salad mix Day 3. They weren't kidding about how rewarding this would be. Mid summer, I'll grow another batch so we have more through the Fall. I am so excited!
The eggplant and bell pepper have been slow to germinate. I don't know what it is. It could be perhaps that I packed some trays tighter than others. The red chilli pepper are showing no signs of germination. I tried fingering the soil as well so we'll see if that helps.
It seems it rained last night so I'll have to hold off on forming my rows of garden beds. My zuchinni, cucumber, snow peas and sugar snap peas seem to be okay. By okay, I mean no squirrel or rabbit has dug it up to eat yet. The only thing I noticed was the neighbors cat is walking on the garden bed because I see these medium sized foot prints.
