Another update on my seedlings

I counted last night and I was only waiting for 18 things to come up most hot peppers which are naturally slow --I think I will have to re-plant my cotton soon I allready replanted the soy beans and beka brown beans into a larger container and they seem just fine luckily I have a spare container or 3 l

ATM looks like most still only have there seedling leaves yet (cottons and well everything still in the flat they were started in) so hopefully in a month or 2 they will all be ready to go outside some many are looking a little leggy right now but that shouldn't be an issue when it comes to planting them outside

4 days later (after planting)

Yesterday I cut open the dome top so I can remove it and it's no longer there right there

Allready the beans seem to all be coming up as is the cotton and the hundreds and thousands tomato and the Basil's are also coming up I don't want anyone up to get leggy so I'm trying to keep the bottom heated the top open ATM I'll cover it tonight when I turn the light off I think

I'm excited to watch them come up! I can't wait to be growing in June!

Another thing to the "grow" list

Ok so I've decided I'm gonna try growing the Sakura seeds (Japanese cherry blossom) that I've had sence spring that I've not been able to get started for various reasons

I wont be able to give dormancy that it claims to need but I hope that it can be tricked even withought that to grow

I also plan on planting a few apple seeds as markers for how I think the Sakura should be growing

Wish me luck y'all! (I may offer cuttings from the Sakura for special trades if I can get them going/growing well)

Wanting carrots

I absolutely love carrots --and would love to grow whatever kinds I can any colours --but we have queen Anne's lace in the area as well so any I would get seeds from would need special attention and such

More binders?

Well this project ain't so little anymore lol --I had 4 binders and after nearly exploding one of them lol I picked up 3 more --well the tomatoes and peppers take up ONE of those binders and it seems when it comes time to get to the flowers I'll need even MORE binders (have 2 that are 1" one herbs one sase and 5 that are 1.5" ones arm only one is sorted that's tomatoes and peppers --one is marked for flowers/outher which wont be able to hold that much lol another is marked edibles which it couldnt hold that many things in it --the outher 2 are at typing this unmarked/unfilled)

Hopefully I get to typing the new/updated list soon?

Starting seeds soon

Looks like I'll be able to get the needed supplies and such for seed starting soon which means I can start growing and getting pics up and everything

I'm thinking 36 2" pots will be plenty but I may get more then that I don't yet know just know that I have a daylight bulb and a heating mat both of which need to be plugged in (ok light is being used for aloes herbs and a few things mat is sitting there turned off)

All I have in mind are herbs tomatoes and peppers will likely try some cotton too --anyone have anything specific I should grow? Seen anything from my list?
