Spinach Sprouting and Dill Planted in Large Containers

Not long after planting my alyssum this week I noticed that my spinach seeds were beginning to sprout.  I didn’t think they would sprout within a week of planting them, but I am not complaining.  This is much better than having them not sprout at all.

The earlier they begin to grow the faster that they can get to a good size before planting them outside.  Since they sprouted sooner this means that they will be planted in the ground much sooner or at least until I can work the soil. (more…)

Sprouting Seeds and More Planted

This week has been quite interesting with all the sprouting of many of my seeds that were grown this past month.  I am finally seeing spinach beginning to grow and it only took the entire month of March to do so.  It would be better if they started sprouting a week or two ago, but it is better late than never.

Most of my flowers have began sprouting including sunflowers, calendula, Queen Anne’s lace, amaranthus, cosmos, dill, alyssum, and much more.  Both lettuce types have began sprouting as well. (more…)

Spinach Has Started to Sprout

It has been a couple of weeks since I planted spinach seeds, but it is now starting to pay off. The first couple of seeds are starting to sprout and popping out of the soil. It might take another week or so before the rest of the seeds start growing.

Spinach is one of those plants that does take a while before they start sprouting all at once. It can take up to three weeks before they are all through the soil. This is where patience is a virtue and something you must have when gardening. Time is essential and by planting them early gives you a buffer just in case many of them do not sprout.  (more…)
