Potting on several 6-packs of cascading lobelias. |
On the left are several 6-packs of Jupiter's Beard - a butterfly favorite. Also pictured are some purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea).
On the left is 'French perfume' lavender, which only grows to about a foot tall and will make for a good border plant. On the right are Montauk daisies, a late flowering perennial grown from seeds I collect at nearby North Scituate Beach.
Small pots of cottage pinks, zinnias and black-eyed susans - all of which will need to be potted up again soon. I'd potted on many of my seedlings into individual cells. Others, I grew on in groups of 2, 3 or 4. Since this is my first real attempt at growing a flower garden, I'm experimenting a bit. So far, all of my seedlings seem to be growing well whether potted on individually or in small groups.
Two small pots of 'Tarpan' strawberries grown from seed. Tarpan produces beautiful pink flowers and edible fruit. Soon I'll have to separate these seedlings into individual pots.
Trays of penstemon, rudbeckia and cascading lobelias sunning outside for the first time.
At this point, I've started most of my flowers, brassicas, alliums and herbs. This past weekend, I also sowed my peppers and tomatoes. It seems crazy to think that our average last frost date is only 5-6 weeks away, especially considering that we're expecting another snow storm this Wednesday.
And it has been in the teens at night. So far it is the latest spring I've experienced here. Admittedly I've only been here since 2010. I think it will be April before I can plant my peas, spinach, and favas.
ReplyDeleteI love your newspaper pots. Your seedlings look very happy and healthy. It's hard to believe spring will ever come this year though.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Rachel, your paper potted seedlings look great. I just came home from SF Bay area, my seedlings seems to survive, I'll take a good look at them tomorrow maybe take some pics to show and tell.
ReplyDeleteWow these look great. They must be getting good light.
