Cosmos, Zinnias, Marigolds

I started these seedlings on Feb 15. Two days later, the Cosmos were sprouting. Four days later, Zinnias and Marigolds are "joining the party" :)

In the images above, the bigger seedlings are Cosmos.

Lots of work ahead of me... I will need to transplant all the seedlings soon. I wait until they have the second set of leaves (the first true leaves set).

Seedlings

I start several seeds in the beginning of March. Now they are all outside in my mini-greenhouses.

Lots of tomatoes, flowers (several zinnias). I also made several cuttings of impatiens. I will give some of the impatiens to a friend that lives in Berkeley - talk about shade!

I still have a lot of work to do. Several flowers need to be transplanted to individual pots. I start the seeds in trays - recycled from strawberries, grapes, etc. So, when the seedlings grow the first true leaf, I need to transfer them to individual pots. It is very rewarding the whole process, but it is a lot of work. You need to love plants to do that.

Thanks for visiting.
