Spring seed starting progress

Published by twriter at 6:48 pm under gardening, herbs, planting, seeds Edit This

This year I invested in one of those heated indoor greenhouse kits (similar to this one) to start my spring seeds. So far, it’s sped up the germination process for almost all of the seeds I planted.

I started seeds for:

Purple basil

Rosemary

Genovese basil

Carrot

Garlic chives

Leeks

Bloody butcher tomatoes

Brandywine tomatoes

2 types of lettuce

I also planted a few Meyer lemon seeds from some lemons we purchased from an organic store and - lo and behold - they are sprouting! In fact, everything in the greenhouse has sprouted, some within two days of being planted. I’m thrilled that the plants are growing so quickly and that I will soon be able to move them outside to the garden. Maybe this year my vegetables will be ready for harvest a little earlier.
