SEEDSTARTING 2012 

One of our club members, Tony Kirch, has begun growing seeds indoors.  He has some tips for you and wanted to share what he's been up to this winter. We hope you get inspired and begin some seedlings indoors, too.  Enjoy!

Jan.2-- Started a tray of Marigold seeds (Queen Sophia). The seeds were collected from last years garden. After about a week seedlings began to emerge.

                        

Jan.13-- Because of low number of plants emerging, a 2nd tray was started.

 

Jan. 24 -- Started a 3rd tray.

 

Feb. 1-- Transplanted 20 very nice plants into deep 8-packs. (Tray 1)
