Happy Easter

 I am enjoying some Easter flowers.  My volunteer Petunias are blooming.  There are a few other things of note.


My pinched Dahlias are already starting to produce side shoots.


Some of the Zinnia plants may be ready for pinching.  You can see that they are already sending out side shoots.  I'm going to watch them and see if any really need pinching or if these will bush out well on their own.


Some of the Cabbage leaves are beginning to burn.  I dropped the tray down 2 inches.  You have to be careful with LED lights.  You need at least 10-12 inches between the leaves and the lights because they are stronger than the florescent bulbs we used to use.  So as the plants get taller, the tray needs to move down.


The indeterminate Tomato seedlings began popping out yesterday (day 4).


The Dwarf Eagle Smiley seedling is making slow progress.  


You can't really tell unless you take a photo and zoom way in...
But there are eeny weeny little leaves showing below the seed coat.  I just keep dripping one drop of water on it each day to keep the seed coat flexible.


If it doesn't make it I will just buy a Sun Sugar plant at the nursery in May.
