Planting out Pulsatilla Happy Pulsatilla vulgaris - Pasque Flower 'Papageno' Planting Out, New Stuff Planting & Patiently Waiting garden ...
It has gotten very cold a bit too early, so I felt I had to get this in the ground to give it any chance at surviving the winter. All the seedlings have their true leaves now, so hopefully there will be enough time for the roots to establish and gain some strength before the ground freezes. I pla...

Growing nicely 1 Happy Pulsatilla vulgaris - Pasque Flower 'Papageno' Showing True Leaves, New Stuff Planting & Patiently Waiting ...
I think there are five sprouts in these two cells. Three of them, the three older ones, now have true leaves. I want them to get a bit bigger before I plant them out. I am thinking I will plant out the seedlings in one cell, and maybe pot up the others for the cold frame over the winter. I want ...

Repotting Work 1 Happy Inside the House garden , Solenostemon scutellarioides - Coleus - 'Rainbow Mix' Potting Up, Fittonia albive...
Somehow I managed to do something to give me back spasms over the past couple of days, so even with a day off today, I didn’t want to make it worse by trying to work outside at something like weeding and mulching. So I decided to take care of some things in the house plant department that n...

I haven’t written anything about those Lemon seeds and one Clementine seed that I sowed, just for the hell of it. Well, over the summer, I have gotten what I believe are two Lemon and one Clementine seedlings. It is possible that all three are Lemon, but the leaves seem a bit different to m...

Sprout Happy New Stuff Planting & Patiently Waiting garden and Pulsatilla vulgaris - Pasque Flower 'Papageno' Sprouting
There is one tiny sprout in one of the cells today. Only the cotyledons at this point, but I was beginning to wonder if there would be any sprouts.

Dianthus sprouts growing 1 Happy Dianthus - 'Spooky' Showing True Leaves and New Stuff Planting & Patiently Waiting garden
One of the two cells of this Dianthus are growing fine – now have two true sets of leaves on a couple of stems. The other is still pretty much the same. They may have gotten a bit saturated with the rain last weekend. I had moved them out of the direct rain but the tray still got filled wit...

Sinningia becoming house plants 3 Happy Sinningia lineata Potting Up, Inside the House garden , Sinningia lineata Potting Up, and New Stuff Plantin...
Two of the Sinningia were potted up into self watering pots from the temporary bowls they were in under the grow lights. There were 12 Sinninga plants altogether, still under the grow lights in plastic bowls. Since they are a relatively rare plant I cannot find a lot of information about them, ho...

I'm growing caraway! Caraway Potting Up
I’ve had 100% germination from Sunshine’s seeds, and today carefully separated the seedlings and transplanted them into individual pots. Once they’re established I’ll figure out where to transplant them to. Some to containers, some to Cottonwood, some given away, I think.

Sowing for fall planting perennials 1 Neutral New Stuff Planting & Patiently Waiting garden , Trillium grandiflorum - White Trillium Sown, Pulsatilla vul...
It’s a little late to get these started, but we’ll see how far they get. I can always overwinter them in the cold frame. These are mostly early spring blooming perennials or long-establishing plants, so I am hoping to get a head start and at least get them in the ground this fall. Gre...

Dumped Unhappy 16 Lychnis flos cuculi - Ragged Robin Dying and 2009 Winter Sowing garden
Since I couldn’t positively identify the contents of the container, and it was definitely not what I sowed, it was dumped. Container empty.

Finally sprouting Happy 100 Phlox paniculata - Tall Garden Phlox - mixed David, Nicki, Becky Towe Sprouting and 2009 Winter Sowing ...
After all this time, there is a new small sprout that appears like it could be Phlox. The leaves are the right shape and appearance. It is about 2 inches tall, so I’ll watch as it grows and see if it truly is Phlox.
