Seeds are Sprouting!


This weekend I finished preparing the “koi pond”. Also, I turned the dirt in our “corner office” plot of land.

My wife has been caring for the seedlings and they've been sprouting! Here's the totals as of Saturday morning:

First tray:

Eva Purple Ball – 2 out of 6 have sprouted.

Garden Peach – 8 out of 8.

Gardener's Delight – 6 out of 6.

Green Grape – 8 out of 8.

Kornesevsije – 6 out of 6.

Mexico – 6 out of 6.

Nyagous – 0 out of 4.


Second tray:

Oaxacan Jewel – 4 out of 4.

Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe – 6 out of 6.

Nyagous – 3 out of 6.

Oaxacan Jewel – 3 out of 4 (another planting in the same tray).

Snow White – 6 out of 8.

Speckled Roman – 6 out of 6.

Eva Purple Ball – 2 out of 6.

Quedlinburger Fruehe Liebe – 0 out of 6 (another planting in the same tray).

Speckled Roman – 0 out of 4.

On Sunday, more sprouted. I believe the Sunday sprouts were the end of the second tray, as they were planted later than the others.

Our neighbor borrowed our rototiller but couldn't get it to work. I'll try it next week and see what happens...
