OH OH I just had to tell somebody. Nobody around here wants to here about my flowers, but my seeds that I started outside in containers in December have started coming up and are green. I have never over wintered before, I am so excited, I just looked a week ago and nothing but today they were all coming up. Oh what do I do with them now? I guess that's what I need to know. Isn't that exciting I can't hardly wait. Thank you Margie ( photo / image / picture from margie12u's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from margie12u's Garden ) :-D
Well Margie, you just told a few hundred. Make sure that they have enough water, if you see condensation then they are getting enough water. If you don't see any condensation then cover some of the transpiration holes. As spring progresses and the temperatures get warmer make the holes bigger until the cover is no longer needed. What kind of flowers did you plant? What is the space between the soil and the top of the container? Jerry
WE want to hear about your flowers! What a wonderful success story. You will have flowers before anyone else in your neighborhood. Enjoy!
Congratulations Margie. Well, the folks there may not be interested, but as everyone here says, --you have a willing and interested audience here. We're your gardening mates, OF COURSE we are interested!
Margie I doubt there's a single person here who isn't just as excited as you are about your flowers. :-D You must keep us updated about their progress. We're all willing for them to stay strong and healthy so that we can share you joy when they burst into bloom for you.
