The avocado plant has continued to grow. I seriously thought it was a goner. It now has a root thing coming out the bottom. I have no idea how the top of the plant is planning on getting out of the shell. The pics I have seen show it coming out of the top of the pit. I am still skeptical, but I was skeptical about the whole thing from the very beginning.
The nursery in Muscles’ room has continued to develop and grow. I haven’t lost any plants in there due to dampening off yet. Hope this streak of good fortune continues. I have recently heard that sprinkling cinnamon on your seedlings also helps to prevent dampening off. It maybe worth a sprinkle for good measure, although I am having pretty good results with using the hydrogen peroxide in the water so far. And I do flip on the ceiling fan in his room to keep the air circulating and make the stems sturdier for a little while each day.
Here is the butternut squash that I should not have planted.
And…here is a close up of one of the Early Girl tomatoes. Cute, huh?
My eggshell experiment has pretty much bombed. I have no green thumb, ironically, and those eggshells just take too much monitoring from me to keep the moisture levels right. Method that takes too much time: FAIL. Also my winter sowing experiment in the milk jugs outside. Way to much work to keep moisture in the container. I don’t have the time or energy to keep these things balanced. ANOTHER FAIL. I will stick with the easier and faster methods for me, thanks.
Looking good! No sprouts on mine yet, but it’s only been a few days.
Yeah, I planted the tomatoes on the 9th of last month. I definitely have some smaller ones that were planted a bit later than that. Most everything has come up, though I have had a few seeds that were duds. You will have to keep me posted. How many of what did you start?
