I started cilantro in a hanging coco basket, dill in a pot, and I used peat starter pots for daisies, bachelor's buttons and rosemary. All of these are outside in part sun on the patio.
 |
| Dill - Mammoth variety. Something dug a hole in it throughout the week. |
 |
| Bachelor's buttons are most active right now. In front is what I believe to be a tomato sprout. It had sprouted out of the upside-down tomato planter alongside the bigger plant. I did have several seeds in there when I started out. |
 |
| Tiny daisy sprout - green spot near the middle of the pot. You can also see a sprout near the plant marker in the left pot. |
Seed starting is hit and miss, typically, when things are started outside. Well, at least in my experience it is. I do use seed starting soil and keep everything nice and moist. I have had luck with Miracle Grow Moisture Control Potting Mix also. I start seeds in part sun so they don't scorch, then I gradually move them to sunlight as they get stronger.
I hope the other stuff sprouts soon! Then maybe I won't have to buy plants for the driveway bed.
Thought I saw a whitefly last night on the Aero. Or did I imagine it? I thought I saw it fly away, out of the garden. Either I imagined it because I am now whitefly paranoid or he saw me coming and hauled ass!
