The failed EvergreenGarden of 2012. == Currently Germinating == Organized by the tray they are in. Details on start dates &c coming once ClintonEbadi is unlazy enough to double check the labels on the germination trays. I seed everything in increments of ten cell peat pots. * GT,,1,,: Two kinds of onions (BtTempleton has to fill in details) GT,,1,, GT,,2,, : unallocated == Seedlings == First waterings are noted here, but subsequent are not (I was under the impression that it'd have to be done less often than basically daily ...) * ST,,1,,: CHAOS (repotted!) Leftover Sweet Banana Pepper, Orange Habanero * 2012-03-03: Watered * 2012-03-03: Fertlized lightly * 2012-03-05: Watered * 2012-03-21: Thinned seedlings * Fertilized lightly * 2012-04-13: Fertilized lightly, zapped with tiny bit of pyrethins (yech, low air circulation = gnats) * 2012-04-20: Fertilized heavily, moved to main hood (turns out I've been underfertilizing!) * 2012-05-01: Repotted * Saved 3x Cayenne, 7x Habanero, 7x Bannana Pepper * Kept remaining Habanero/Bannana Pepper cells that were alive just in case * Fertilized heavily * ST,,2,,: ... CHAOS (repotted, numbers are inaccurate). Sweet Basil, Oriental Basil * 2012-03-05: Watered * 2012-03-09: Thinned all basil * 2012-03-09: Fertilized lightly * 2012-03-20: Fertilized lightly (and thinned Oriental Basil more) * 2012-04-13: Fertilized lightly, zapped with tiny bit of pyrethins (yech, low air circulation = gnats) * 2012-04-20: Repotted * Culled weak plants, repotted 8x Sweet Basil, 7x Oriental Basil * Kept ~20 semi-strong seedlings (ten of each) * Fertilized heavily * Moved to unhooded rack, beginning hardening off process === ST,,0,, and ST,,3,, === Actual situation is messy. It's late, I needed to record what I did, will reorganize &c later -- ClintonEbadi <> * ST,,0,,: CHAOS (repotted, numbers inaccurate) 2x Chicory, 3x California Wonder Bell Pepper * 2012-03-03: Chicory dried out during the day! Bottom watered 3 cups * 2012-03-03: Transplanted first tray of Bell Peppers with significant germination * 2012-03-03: Fertilized lightly * 2012-03-05: Last two Bell Peppers germinated (also fertilized when transferring) * 2012-03-07: Thinned Chicory * 2012-03-19: Thinned peppers (note: third pepper tray has really low germination rate, bummer) * Fertilized entire tray lightly * 2012-04-13: Fertilized lightly, zapped with tiny bit of pyrethins (yech, low air circulation = gnats) * 2012-04-20: Repotted * Killed half of the peppers (weak, didn't germinate) * Repotted 6 Cal Bel Peppers * Thinned weak Chicory * Fertilized heavily * ST,,3,,: CHAOS (repotted, numbers inaccurate) 1x Lavender (1 died), 1x Parsley, repotted parsley * 2012-03-05: Parsley has germinated! (way, way early)... in the --(windowsill since I'm out of lights)-- in the main hood after bumping the peppers out * 2012-03-20: Thinned Parsley * Lightly fertilized * Lavender not germinating too well * 2012-04-13: Fertilized lightly, zapped with tiny bit of pyrethins (yech, low air circulation = gnats) * Reasonable success germinating lavender * Parsley is looking a wee bit sickly * 2012-04-20: Repotted * Culled almost all parsley, half lavender * Thinned lavender * Repotted 6 parsleys that looked the least sickly * Fertlized heavily After repotting and thinning, ST,,3,, and ST,,0,, were mixed-and-matched. Everything still in a seedling cell went into ST,,0,, under the main hood, and the repotted seedlings moved to the unhooded shelf in ST,,3,,. --(These are not ready for hardening off and will remain indoors for the time being)-- Plans are hardier than I thought; a quick test in the sun and then a few hours proved that sunlight benefitted even the weak plants! * 2012-05-01: Fertilized heavily (sweet basil + pepper/oriental basil seedling trays) * 2012-05-07: Fertilized heavily (everything that has been repotted) * 2012-05-15: Fertilize heavily (everything that has been repotted)
