Several seeds I pulled out of the fridge recently are sprouting in their humid containers so we planted them today!
Everything is growing!
Spring is really springing today. It’s very humid and warm too though no substantial rain yet despite forecast.
Removing seeds from cold stratification
I checked on seeds in the fridge this evening. Two species have started sprouting so I planted them in sprouting trays and also some directly in the ground. The others species I think I’ll keep out and see if they sprout as they’ve been in since January I think.
New places to get seeds
Mom sent me this great article profiling some small seed producers. I had only known of Prairie Moon so I am excited to see more places to get more seeds!
More seeds
Put out beets, cilantro (I’d like it to become self-sustaining since it goes to seed so nicely), and moss-curled parsley in the raised beds.
Tomatillo time
This morning I repotted the baby tomatillos (two varieties this year).
Babies growing up
Repotted about 2/3 of baby tomatos before it got dark.
Bigger pots mean not everyone fits in the cat-safe night area.
Another beautiful day for baby plants!
New babies: cabbage and mizuna
Learned about reference for average last frost in OK
Oklahoma Mesonet posted a link to a great map today. It shows average last frost dates for Oklahoma from 1981-2010. I went ahead and put it in the References spreadsheet.
