Title: My babies.......not the fluffy or cuddly kind - my seedlings!!
Post by: SMP1704 on April 14, 2006, 16:21:17
In between bouts of housework, I have been playing around with Photobucket and I have finally worked out how to post a pic direct to the board.  So here we are...

Popped these in the propagator last Sunday and look at them now :o

What big healthy babies! Come clean ... did you plant one or more seeds per pot? Is that courgette in the first photo? It's a wierd time of year with maternal instincts at permanent green alert. On rising, do you run to the windowsill to see how much the babes have grown? :P 8)

Thanks for all the kind comments.

I grew these in modules to start off with, one to a cell, although two did manage to sneak into some (need an eye test)  I potted them about 2 weeks ago.

The first picture is Butternut Squash, but I won't be planting all 6 ;D
 
I'm on constant seed watch.  Every morning, there I am in my jammies with a cup of tea inspecting the troops. ::)

Sharon, They are all looking great.  It is such a satisfying sight and a great thrill when you see your seeds have germinated and are all  growing strongly. busy_lizzie
