Seeding Has Begun!

The first round of flower seeding has begun. It is so exciting! The sweet peas have been soaked and are planted for germination, the stock, the first of the snaps and rudbeckia have also been sown. On deck are the larkspur seed that need just a few more days in the fridge, pretending that it is winter and then they can be sown. Oh this is just so exciting!

Seeds in the germination room. if you look really carefully, the far right row is already sprouting

So last week I talked about the low tunnel inside the high tunnel, well here it is, and yes, building it was a learning curve. By the end of the season, we should have it all figured out to fit our space. No, we won’t be having 100 foot long low tunnels. not enough space between the rocks. Twenty foot rows are more like it here at Lottarock.

In the process
Our first attempt. Awfully silly looking, but it should work.

So the low tunnel in the high tunnel has already been planted with the third batch of ranuncs and second batch of anemones. As soon as the cover was on, which was right after we had hooked up the water, the plantlets were planted. Next week? More seeding. Stay tuned for more excitement!
