What's Going On Inside

My indoor seedlings are looking good.  In fact, they are all pretty much outgrowing their lights at this point.  I am having to rearrange things and give each tray a little airspace.  I do have one more flourescent light that I could set up if I have to.
Peppers

Coleus Cuttings

You can see from the light distribution on these Marigolds that they are getting too close to the light and the light is not reaching the outer plants as well.  But they don't seem to be suffering at all.

Marigolds

Zinnias (and two White Sage plants)
The Zinnias are even beginning to bloom.


Tomato Plants
Not everything is happy.  Below is a tray of Tomato plants that were growing slowly and got crowded out by more vigorous plants.  Totally my fault.  They still have four weeks to get it in gear.


The Dahlia Tubers that I am waking up early looks nice.  I may try to take some cuttings from them as an experiment.  The taller tray in the background are the Single Dahlias from seed.  They have totally outgrown my lights.  In fact, I booted them out to the cold frame today but we are going to have some cold nights this coming week so I will just bring them indoors each night and put them under the old 10w LEDs for the evening.


Now I have to wait for both the day and the night time temps to go up a bit so I can begin transitioning some things into the cold frame.  The happens every year... waiting for nice weather.  And the next two weeks are forecast to be below average temperatures.  These are the times that try men's souls.
