ScarletTricycle's blog: No. 228: Out of all my seeds

I just came up from the basement after taking notes on all of my seedlings and after saving seed from 32 seed parents, I ended up with only 5 seed parents making 32 seedlings. So not a huge mix as I was hoping, but you never know where the bees were prior to their visit to make the seeds, so I look forward to some nice surprises!

The seedlings are looking healthy and in good shape. Yay for that.

I had a bunch of named varieties with shoots up this morning so back under the lights those moved and moved the next bunch of pots upstairs to the hut and will see if they sprout soon too. I think things have just been too cold and they are like "not having any of it!"

I ran to Menards today and grabbed the additional lily and will add star fighter to the mix. So some lights and darks. I just wish I knew how to correctly drift my bulbs so they created some visual shape with a few bulbs. I don't have the huge amounts to plant and hope they will kind of make new bulbs with time. Any suggestions?

I didn't get the rest done I had hoped for this evening. Instead I allowed myself to get sucked into a few shows on HGTV. How do these people have a mortgage and can also spend 200k to renovate a few rooms? I guess I'm just really aware of money and strangely how people lots younger than I that can do this and I can't and I couldn't at that age either. It always makes me wonder what they must do to be able to afford such. I try not to watch this channel much anymore as it does become a downer for me in a short period of time. Heck, I'm still feathering my nest with second hand even at this stage. And this is why I don't watch anymore. I always feel destitute.

So tomorrow bare roots and seeds. And checking for more sprouts. Getting ready for snow which means I need to go pick up the yard of the crap kid2 left out there. The only thing I look forward to is having bright green grass when the snow leaves. And hopefully more rain to follow. And then a warm up would be nice and get the planting season underway.
