Oooh, I am so excited, my pak choi, and toy choi seeds that I planted Saturday, and put under the grow light are “waking up”. One little pak choi, has two tiny little leaves.
The marigolds haven’t done anything yet. Bought some stuff at the lumber yard yesterday for my “will eventually be Texas Prepper’s Greenhouse”, and today my 6ml. clear plastic I ordered from Amazon should get here.
I worry that ginormous raccoon will tear the plastic on the greenhouse, once I put it t all together. I guess that means I have a few months to dispatch him before I need to put the plastic on it.
“The marigolds haven’t done anything yet...”
My Zinnias were the last seeds to sprout - maybe all flowers under the grow lamp will be like that?
That grow lamp on a stand was the best purchase I made. After squirrels/birds ate the seed I planted outside, I saw no reason to do the same thing again and expect a different outcome - the seeds or tiny plants from the seed were going to be eaten so a solution had to be found.
It was a triumph over the critters when the seeds were growing beautifully inside the house under the grow lamp - take that, critters!
I saved the boxes the parts of the grow lamp came in. After I was through with the lamp, I put the lamp that is now inside the part that holds it, in the box that held the part the bulb fits in. Tossed the rest of the boxes. Put the box with the holder and lamp in the laundry room.
I’m thinking where to put the green metal stand in the house. I don’t want it outside so spiders, etc., can build spider webs on it and mess up the cord that comes out of it, because this stand will be back in the house when it’s time for early spring seeds to sprout.
