Starting seeds for this season
Around where I live its still too cold to start most plants outside. We are still getting freezing days and will probably happen for another few weeks. But once the risk of frost is over, these seedlings will go outside. Either out into the green house to get bigger. Or straight into the planters. But for now I will grow them indoors where the cold will not affect them.
I set up some tube lights in my mechanical room, here I have the water heater and HVAC for the house, there was a little space for some shelves, so figured this would be the perfect place to start seeds indoors.
Still have some plants from last autumn I never planted, they have been getting quite big and will be happy to get their roots in the dirt. Here we have some Orka growing.
Brusell sprouts are growing as well, just the leaves but maybe they will produce once outside.
Many seeds were started as well, with plans on filling a third acre with plants I need a lot of them.
The tray above was just started yesterday, so it needs time to sprout. Many kinds of spices and herbs are in this one.
Carrots are filling the tray above. Scarlet Nantes is the type.
We want many carrots, as unlike lettuces once you take their goodness they are done growing.
In the tray above I have some spinach growing, peppers that have not emerged yet and some cauliflower.
The spinach is growing fast! Some are slow but others grow quite rapidly.
I had to take the domes off some of the seedling trays as the plants are already touching the dome tops.
Above we have some broccoli and paris island lettuce.
Romane is filling up this tray.
Swiss chard is doing well, getting quite tall as well.
Lavender seeds have been started, hoping the best for them.
Raddish and onions are coming up in the above tray.
A few cantaloupe seeds have been started as well.
Many seeds started, but I have room for a couple more trays, so I am not done yet germinating all of them.
I have a few more trays ready to go.. Just waiting for the seeds to arrive.
All and all its a nice place to start seeds, out of the way but they still stay warm and I check on them daily to make sure they do not need more water.. or if I need to treat them for gnats. Do not want those larva trying to eat the roots of freshly planted seeds, so using bti seems to be the way to go with dealing with them. I have been soaking misquito bits in water and then feeding the plants using that. I also have some lighted sticky traps for the gnats that work well. So hopefully between those two things I can keep them at bay.

Haha yeah man I hope so.. will post updates as I have them.
thanks!
That's a nice start! I'm waiting for a few seedlings to come up still to replace some plants that have started to struggle in my garden. Plus I'm adding some more tomatoes and hot peppers along the fence in the backyard.
It looks like you should get a nice haul of veggies and melons this year! How's the cannabis coming along?
Hope yours do well, best of luck with the tomatoes and peppers.
Yeah I would love some fresh melons.. hopefully they will do well.
The plants are good, I need to do another update on them. Growing them bigger so they will be ready to go outside when the seedlings do.
How great it is to see your greenhouse with the seedlings and seeds developing, yes, you are right, you have to wait for the cold days to pass, or the frost will wither the tender plants.
Congratulations on the progress of the garden
Have a great weekend dear friend @solominer
Yeah the green house should help out a lot I think.
Thank you
How much day will stay as cool condition in the outside and which time you will be abled to take them outside and planted them in the field
I probably have another 2-3 weeks of cold weather before it should be over until the autumn.
So hopefully late April is my planting date here in Virginia.
Thank you for sharing with me this information.
wow it's really amazing little Garden. the very good idea.
Thank you
you are most welcome
Everything is great, my friend. Great place to get down to doing the appropriate germinations. I admire the order you keep, I would surely leave things everywhere, haha I wish you a good harvest, I hope the frosty season ends soon! I send you a hug 🤗
Hah yeah its the worst when I start a bunch of seeds and then have no idea which ones they are.
thanks much, hope it ends soon too.
It is wonderful to see your seedlings grow!
Pretty soon, they'll be in the dirt, @solominer !
Hehe yeah, soon they will.
Damn that's a nice start to a garden
Yeah man it should be good
You have a nice place to germinate seeds. Everything looks very professional and meticulous. I have germinated a few plants with my wife, but you have a whole garden in your private room. I learned some new things from you about the mosquito threat and the germination process. I hope you will see them grow when the weather warms up :)
Hehe yeah lots of space to start seeds here. Oh cool.. well its a product called "mosquito bits" that also kills gnats.. luckily I do not have a mosquito problem in my basement.
thank you
Wow so nice
Hope to see your plants grow🌱
thank you, I hope they do too.
