Everything seems pretty good today in the green house, the furnace works, humidity is back up, and there's no spider mites. Also the lemon tree has new buds on it.
I was expecting an order of trays and flats so i could plant again on Sunday but I've had some stuff on back order and today i panicked so i went around looking for trays. Just regular run of the mill trays, these do not exist in Timmins. I had a genius level brain fart though and went to Dollarama and bought 10 storage bins, drilled holes in the bottom of them and made them into propagation trays. Alright; maybe not genius level but i was proud of myself. Also found out when i got home that my trays have shipped and will be here tomorrow.
I am productive! I put hooks on the wall so i can hang my coat!!
I was able to start my mom's petunia's today, all 254 of them. Apparently i should have started them on the first of March, if only i had read the directions...
Petunia's in storage bins!
3rd time trying to comment and I guess I'm old and stupid.
ReplyDeleteOk it worked.
ReplyDeleteAlright. I sent yu a mag today called Greenhouse Canada, use to get it when I had the garden centre. Good article on roots, worth reading.
It would be nice to get some heat under those trays, heat mats. Look online - Lee Valley or some of the seed cat. would have them. I use them it it speeds things up.
Doing a great job.
Don't think you're old and stupid, it's probably a pain to post a comment.
ReplyDeleteIf the greenhouse is at a constant 80F should i use heat mats? It's insanely hot in there since i started the peppers and petunia's. They both like to germinate at 80-85.
Thank you so much for sending me the magazine, i'm excited to read it.
