Home On The Range

Hyacinths have greened up since brought from the basement a few days ago.

The bloom is finally trying to emerge after brought up from the basement weeks ago. Yes that's me in the background.

I can see the bloom inside the small hyacinth. Didn't think it would do anything. Hopefully they'll all continue to grow tall and be beautiful in bloom. Can't wait to smell them.

On the dining room table. After careful thought, I think I'll try winter sowing again. I have a lot of seeds I'd like to try but no space for them. Containers have to be washed first. Another day.

Coleus had started to germinate over night.

They're big seedlings. Maybe those are the Kong ones.

Coleus seeds starting to swell before they germinate. They were tiny black specks when I sprinkled them on the pellets.

Okay, I've killed most of the geraniums I sowed. Instead of taking the tops off when they started to germinate, I waited as I usually do and took them off the heat mat. Think they were traumatized and many layed down and died. What's a gardener to do? I have some old geranium seedof Black Velvet from 2013. I'll sow them and see if they come up. I refuse to buy a geranium this spring. Remind me I said this. I must grow my own. They're not hard annuals to grow when directions are followed. 

Got to get around to potting up my few vinca. I'll wait to they have 4 leaves.

Echinacea Prarie Splendor growing slowly but alive, yeah!

Thought mold was growing on the top. No, it's the seedlings. Snapdragons and a container of foxgloves. A nightmare. What am I supposed to do with them. Let them grow I guess.

Some other vinca.
