Seed Starting Project Phase II


I began Phase II of my seed starting project this weekend! After having great luck with three day germination on some of my seeds started last weekend, I decided to continue on with my project. In my windowsill greenhouse with a small heat mat underneath it, I have also started Ferry Morse Tomato (Roma VF), Tomato (Jelly Bean Hybrid), and Tomato (Red Cherry), along with Burpee Tomato (Big Boy) and Park Seed Tomato (Choice Container VFF Hybrid) - this one was free with my Park Seed order!

I also planted Park Seed Pepper (Hot Mucho Nacho Hybrid), Broccoli (Cornado), Squash (Organic Early Summer Crookneck).

Along with the above veggie seeds, I also decided to try some flower seeds as well. With this I planted Park Seed (Mirabilis Salmon Sunset), Hosta (American Crosses), Gaillardia (Arizona Apricot), Burpee Viola (Psychedelic Spring), Park Seed Coreopsis (Tictoria Roulette) and Rudbeckia (Cappuccino).

I planted some of the seeds from my daylily plants that I collected up at the end of the summer last year. After drying these and placing them in baggies in the refrigerator over the winter, I got them out and tried my hand at planting some of those as well!

Only time will tell if my seed starting endeavors have been worth it!

  1. These look wonderful. I planted viola, pansy and alyssum...they require cool dar conditions but no activity. Too early for my veggies but will start them outside in a month. Other flowers this weekend....we have cool weather until Mother's Day here so no warm veggies like tomatoes started...

  2. Lovely collage of all your hard work. Are you always this organised? It takes me a while to get in the groove...

  3. You don't have any heirloom tomatoes in your list. I love chocolate cherry tomatoes. Brandywine and Purple Cherokee are great tasters, and Black Krim is delicious and a beautiful dark tomato. Think I will go plant some seeds.

  4. So much fun to see people starting seedlings. I don't do it myself, but I think I really should start! Happy Seeding!
