Sunflowers and Morning Glories

Twenty one of the Sunflowers and 3 of the Morning Glories are so tall that I had to remove them from the plastic dome of my seedling greenhouse. I also have at least two tomatoes peeking out, and a bunch of marigolds.

Seeds have sprouted

The seeds have started sprouting – about 36 hours after planting! Mainly the sunflowers so far….

Seeds Started

Today I planted 64 Jiffy peat pods with seeds.

4 Glacier Tomatoes (West Coast Seeds)
4 Polish Linguisa Tomatoes – Roma style (West Coast Seeds)
8 Brocade Marigolds (West Coast Seeds)
24 Sunflowers – mixed (West Coast Seeds)
8 Pansy
8 Morning Glory

I have 8 remaining peat pods for my Zucchini (4 yellow, 4 green) which I will plan in a couple of weeks.
The Jiffy seed starting kit I purchased included a heating pad which is underneath the seeds. This is supposed to help germination – we’ll see what happens.

This year, Tammy and I chose to purchase seeds from West Coast Seeds – seeds that are acclimatized to conditions in our area.
