going to be 1 of those years. most the onion seed sprouts
fell over. not looking good. put them under a light tonight.
i had more seed, more than i thought. so planted most of them.
soon as these sprout are out of dome and into light. think was to
humid in there for them.

well onions under light did not fair well maybe 2-3 make it.
glad i had more seed. soon as they sprout there out of dome.
when i got the seed then planted my pot. then i fluffed up some
old soil from greenhouse. pots that did not sprout last year and such.
mixed in some trace elements and a little pellet ferts. then filled a
med size pot with it. poked 5 holes with finger and put 5 onion seeds
in. then watered a cup or so over 2 days to wet the super dry soil.
put a clear plant tray over it. went to greenhouse today. there is 1
sprout and a 2nd about to sprout. is big enough pot for them. so if
i fail with other onions least got 1 that can go outside and let go to
seed for next years seed. read a lot i should plant them in jan and keep
cut back. then have good size when planting time. live and learn.

Poor little onion got a lot of expectations on its little shoulders.

Healthy onion sprout!

those 2 pepper sprouts were close. 1 is sprouted other is
still sprouting. really careful i cut soil with a knife. then
took a spoon and moved the still sprouting one into another pot.

filled in the spoon full of soil. then set in tray of water a hour.
they are back under lights. if both make it going to do 1 indoor
then 1 outdoor. we have short season but could get lucky.
could have put in potatos and carrots this month. been odd
weather so waiting. also need to get some more lime to mix.
potato's have chitted nice there wanting to be planted.

I ordered some yacon seeds. Supposed to arrive about mid April. Hope they're fast sprouting. Thanks for the inspiration Lrus.

my yacons i plant from tubers. it did bloom well last year.
never thought to look for seeds in the flower. anyway you
will like them kind of a cool fruit.

as not to risk humidity on onions again. enough have
sprouted. so under the light today. hope they do well.

then my transplant from 1 pot to two pots. both peppers
look good today.

as a added plus. seen a 2nd onion sprout in the pot in the
greenhouse. gave the pot some water see if any more pop up.

well the onions did not die under the light. wish more had sprouted. yay

then my 2 peppers are looking good after splitting them apart.

today went to town. got some lime and lettuce seed. at store
grabbed a clove of garlic. when i got home i planted some lettuce
and poked garlic cloves into ground. there are a few that made it
it looks like. the lime is for when i top off the 55 gal drums of soil.
they sunk about a foot over winter. i had also got some sand last month.
will dig them out a bit. then add lime, peat moss, sand, perlite and saved
soil from last year. then top them off.

What an amazing discovery! Scientists have discovered that ants, after collecting the grains and seeds that they need for winter break those seeds down into halves before storing in their nests because breaking them in half keeps them from germinating even through rain and the most perfect germinating conditions. But scientists were stunned when they discovered that coriander seeds stored in the ant nest were broken down into 4 pieces instead of 2 pieces. After lab research, scientists discovered that a coriander seed will still germinate after being divided into two, but it won’t germinate after it’s divided into four parts. So how do these tiny tiny creatures know all this? Humans know very little, there's a lot to learn from other creatures.
