Put together a mobile greenhouse stand and started to harden off some seedlings.
Nasturtium
Thyme
Sweet Woodruff
Lupine
Fresca Strawberries
Alpine Strawberries

Watered some of the seedlings today as well as thinned some of them out.

Asclepias Cinderella does not seem to be doing very well. There is only one tiny seedling pushing its way up from the soil. On the other hand, Asclepias Tuberosa is doing very well with many seeds germinating. Too bad, I liked Cinderella a bit more because of the pink coloring. Will probably share some of the Tuberosa since I have more than I want. The yellow cosmos will probably look good planted with them.

Lupines seem to be doing okay despite my transplanting them the other day.

Nasturtiums have developed really quickly and have well developed roots already. I am thinking of planting them outside soon in order to take back some space on the growing shelf.

Heliotrope Mini Marine are not doing as well as I would like. There are a few seedlings, but not many. I was looking forward to the vanilla scent too.

Lavender Lady is not doing well either, although I think some of the other lavender seeds that I planted are taking off.

Later this week, I plan to dig out the lilies in the backyard to give to Aunt J. I'm not really a bit lilies fan and she seems to be interested in them. I wonder if I should move the irises next to the mailbox. It might look nice there.

Transplanted lupine Sunrise and Sweet Woodruff today. Hopefully the lupines will survive since they dislike being transplanted. They seem to grow on long taproots. Next time, it would probably be better to plant each lupine in its own peat pot instead of together in flats. Also watered Aquilegia in egg crate which had dried out. No signs of life there yet, but supposedly it takes 30 days to germinate. Running out of space on my growing shelf that C set up for me. Already went through two bags of Miracle-Gro seed starting mix and need to get more for transplanting into 2" pots. Gardener's Germination mix has a better texture and less debris; there seems to be some shiny silver mineral flecks in the soil too. A faint odor of something like ammonia can be detected when seedling trays are placed inside a plastic bag for humidity. There doesn't seem to be a difference in germination rate though. It would be useful to do a side-by-side, A/B test with the two formulas.
