TEXAN: Seedlings everywhere

The seedlings are coming up and doing pretty good... My pepper germination rate has been off a bit this year. I have replanted several....Not sure why, I have done everything the same as I always do. But then peppers are notorious for not having the best germination rate. No biggy, as I said I replanted :O)

I have added some lights for my seedlings once they have gotten up, I don't normally do this. We are having a pretty cold time of it at night still for us. Its a bit iffy .... Okay cold as in cold northern or eastern U.S. cold..No not that cold. But cold for us. I don't feel comfortable putting these guys out in the greenhouse yet even though I have a heater out there that kicks on if the greenhouse temp falls below 45... so for now I just clipped some lights and pulled some lamps into the exercise room on top of the other lights in there ... trying to keep seedling central bright and warm :O) ... I have a space heater in there and of course the electric heating blanket :o),,,,,

Yes these guys are up and happy .. they are now sitting on the weight bench instead of the treadmill :O)... lights are clamped to the weight bench ... ya the exercise room has pretty much become garden central LOL

Arent they cute :O).. I come in this room a gazillion times a day to see these guys! I love growing my seedlings..

Yep a lamp and two clip lights

Treadmill holding seed trays that are still working on coming up

These guys are trying hard but have been slow......

Everyone say hello!!! LOL They are all waving ... no really trust me they are.. :O)

Ozark Mountains, Arkansas

Its a place where the mountains whisper, the creeks and springs sing songs to your soul. The trees blow a breeze of pure contentment. Earth, wind, fire and water. All the elements of being. Mother nature and her sprites in all their glory live there. Once you have lived in these mountains, you may leave them for a time. You may move far, far away for many years, but they will never leave you. They will softly beckon to your soul...return, return home .... We are here as we have always been and always will be. Come home ...The Ozark Mountains in Arkansas, where I am from and where we will retire.

I see them waving, lol!!!!!
Like you, I check on my seedlings numerous times throughout the day.

My seedlings are in the my little greenhouse, which in turn is inside my house sitting on a tarp. I'll move the greenhouse outside next month. For now, the seedlings are loving the warmth. Or shall I say they're loving the sun (aka my grow lights).

My next process will be thinning out the seedlings in each pod, and starting a couple more trays.

Tell your seedlings Oklahoma is waving at them, lol; February 20, 2015 at 5:59 AM
