Well, my little seedlings are looking really good, right now. I am forgoing a picture for this update because they don't look a whole lot different than they did last week.... just a little taller.
The peppers and the eggplant have sprouted for the most part and the sage finally decided to germinate. Yay!
Interestingly, about four rows of seed cells have not sprouted, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with the soil I used. I had seed-starting soil for most of my seeds (courtesy my FAVORITE nursery). But I ran out and picked up another seed-starting mix from another nursery. I planted about four rows of seeds in it and that stuff hasn't grown ANYTHING yet. HMMMMMM....
No matter... I fed the rest of the seedlings with a mixture of water and liquid seaweed over the weekend and plan to keep feeding them about once a week. I've also had to make sure I give them more water, because the little plants are soaking up everything they can, and the soil is drying much faster.
I expect to thin the seedlings soon, because many are starting to develop their second set of leaves. Once that happens, I'll remove the less vigorous seedlings from each cell so the strongest can grow without competition.
Grow seedlings, grow!
