Acclimating the seedlings to the great outdoors!

Winter sowing sprouts Part 2:
1. Swamp milkweed: Milkweed normally germinates later than other species but this one must have been extra eager.
2. Zigzag goldenrod, Blue stem goldenrod: Goldenrods are usually among the first to pop their heads out.
3. Smooth blue aster: Seeds were sown a month apart, but the early pot didn't sprout in advance of the later one.
4. Golden alexander: Clamshell on the left sprouted about a week in advance of the pot on the right.

Anyone out there using soil blocking for #SeedStarting? I had heard of it before but finally today saw someone demonstrating how to do it and it makes so much more sense than plastic or peat-based pots. Any advice for getting started? #gardening
Spent lunch checking on the seedlings and filling the bird feeder. Seedlings are: broccoli, microgreens, onions.

After a false start, back to broccoli sprouts!

Someone forgot to plant some saved Campari tomato seed so those are 8 days behind the others. Someone also plucked some things and potted them up as extras.
Okay #NewEngland

Cool spring here, so outside plants aren’t growing much yet. Lots of growth indoors: onions, leek, cabbage, kale, broccoli, tomatillo, ground cherry, pepper, eggplant, basil, thyme
Gotta love #NewEngland
35° F / 2°C tonight
Pulling less hardy seedlings
To bask on dining room table
All saved tomato seeds from last year have sprouted up and the tomatillo seeds I gathered from the ground in the garden a month ago are up too. Heat mat turned off. They were started on April 1.
First tomatoes are up, peppers are growing fast, and some new growth on the overwintered Red Marconi sweet pepper that I pruned and fertilized.
Pea, beet, and radish growth. The seeds were planted 4 weeks ago.
We have germination! Tomato, cucumber, and hot peppers. Not pictured: sugar snaps, nasturtiums, cosmos and nicotiana.
Our whole propagation set up is both simple and seasonal - it’s a carport that we put up in the spring and take down in the summer. Noel turned old ladders into the perfect stands for our wood seed trays, which we built out of left over lumber. They’re the best! Sturdy, mobile, reusable, sustainable, easy to stack and clean.
Are you feeling spring vibes too?
Maybe the first sugar snap pea. It's been 3 weeks since they were planted.
First beets are up! and some different color radishes that should be the Black Spanish.
Basil is looking good, I've kept a loose cover over it so it's not drying out fast. Peppers are starting to grow fast with roots seen in the smaller pots and the latest transplants in the big pots aren't dying so maybe not over fertilized but we'll see.
