What is sprouting for me

11 years ago

Convolvus (sp?) is the most densely germinated. Ready to go in ground. Oriental poppy germinated well, but still tiny. Zinnias - I have 8 containers! - someone gave me about 200 seeds - they will be ready to plant in a day or two.

btw, if anyone wants zinnia seeds let me know. I've got plenty left!

Today is supposed to be in '70's, so should see a lot of activity.

Sprouted: CA poppy, Allysum,ageratum,

So far out of 20 jugs sown I have tossed 4 - which I looked to see that there was no activity, altho sowed in March. I think what happened is that this year - the location of my jugs changed. Now they are out in my garden, a lot of wind, and sun all day. They dry out VERY quickly. So before I realized that I think this 4 got snuffed. :(

so I have no red salvia, but I can live without it.

and I have one container each of blanket flower (gallardia) and strawflower. these were sown April 27, no sprouts yet.

today will begin planting out. yay!

Planted four jugs of zinnia, three sprouted and were dense. The other was seed I had gathered a couple years ago and was mostly chaff so I wasn't surprised it didn't sprout. Live and learn. Anyway, the zinnias, marigolds and a few dahlias went in the ground Saturday.

The only thing ready to be planted out is salvia: Horminum Blue Monday. A lot of my jugs are just starting to germinated. The Dreamland Red Zinnia's are sprouting the best. I found a lot of sprouts on the side of my jugs (I washed the seeds down); therefore, I am going to try to revise the jugs and see what happens.

I've been planting out all week. I've got 7 more containers to go. Of these 5 are well germinated, just waiting for me to get around to it. Everything, in container and in ground, is really growing fast now!
