The pickling cucumber seeds I sowed on May 20th had some poor germination. I resowed them and they came up well. This is the end of my old seeds and next year I will start with fresh seeds. I am hoping for some rain on Saturday, and if we get it I will go out and transplant them so they have better transition day.
I potted up my summer squash, two varieties (Dunja and Clarimore) in each pot. One will grow left and the other right. I will keep these in smaller pots until I plant them out when the peas come out. From the 4" pot they will be bumped up to gallon pots.
The Coleus that I accidentally broke off on May 20th has put out beautiful roots. I potted it in soil today. I will leave it under a grow light for a few days before hardening it off to be planted out.
I also filled in gaps in the sweet corn seeds. Again - older seed.
We are also hoping, hoping that the rain materializes on the weekend. Everything is so dust-dry.
ReplyDeleteLove that blue bottle you rooted the coleus in. Beautiful. Is it an old medicine bottle?
That's a bottle I got in an assortment from, I think, the old Smith and Hawken garden catalog. There are a couple of other colors and shapes.
