Starting seeds

Yesterday, Emma and I put seeds in 15 mini-greenhouses (yogurt containers with drainage holes on top and bottom, and filled with seed starter soil).

This activity should have been done weeks ago, but darned if I could convince myself to get out there in the cold and snow to do it. Better late than never? We'll see what happens.

Emma has started a journal to track what happens with our seeds.

Here is what is in which pot:
1) Pepper 'Shishito' (Emma)
2) and 12) Zinnia 'Benary's Giant Carmine' (Emma)
3) and 13) Zinnia 'Benary's Giant Lilac' (Emma)
4) and 14) Zinnia 'Raspberry Limeade' (Emma)
5) and 15) Zinnia 'Purple Prince' (Emma)
6) Cornflower 'Classic Romantic' (Emma)
7) Larkspur 'Giant Imperial' (Jennie)
8) Sweet Pea 'April in Paris' (Jennie)
9) Allium obliquum (Jennie)
10) Gypsophila repens rosea (creeping baby's breath) (Jennie)
11) Digitalis lutea (small yellow foxglove)
