Little Sproutlings, growin’ up and out. 

New print that I’ll have at Anime St. Louis~!

I have a lot of planting to do this weekend! Most of my seedlings have been doing great and are ready to be put in the raised beds. #growyourown #soilsister #greenthumb #urbanfarmer #urbangardener #takebackourfood #takebackyourhealth #eatyourveggies #medicinalherbs #seedlings

Sprouting Italian tomatoes back in January. These seedlings are full grown and are now producing fruit.

Plant Something

I’ve been struggling to grow these from seed because I have a very bad habit of pulling them out, thinking they’re weeds. Now, I stop, look at the colours (dark purple stem and green leaves) and leave them be.

Today I transplanted the remaining snapdragons and give some to mom’s friend. 

The 3 upper pics are dahlias, shirleys and millet seedlings, and in the center there is an hydrangea that my brother gave mom for mother’s day. There is another one but it was already damaged when he gave it to her, so I’m taking care of it.

Today I transplanted the supposedly callas, before they got too tangled with delphinium’s roots. It was hard to take them off without damaging their roots, they all had grown so closely that some roots where growing across the next bulb’s ones. I planted them in a rectangular pot, if they bloom at the same time it’s gonna look very pretty.

Since I need the seedbed, I put the basil in a single pot. It’s said to keep mosquitoes away, since I have birds at home I don’t like to use repellents in case they affect their health, so basil is going to be a great solution.

To make room for the new seeds I transplanted the only two sweet williams that resisted after the incident. I wonder if putting some more seeds in that pot would make some more bloom. I can try…

Both schlumbergeras are getting ready to show some flowers, I can’t wait to see them! Mine (the bright green one) had really pretty red/orange flowers last time, I wonder which color mom’s one (the dark green) would show, she can’t remember the last time it bloomed.

The dahlias germinated just 3 days after being planted! The box said it would take a minimum of 10 days, it was a surprise.

Grandpa’s delphinium started showing some flowers, it’s a pity that branch has been damaged and bent, but there are more buds about to open.

The plant that started growing in the same pot has begun to show some leaves, I’m very curious about what is it, if the seeds came from our balcony, it must be a calla since it’s the only bulbous plant we have there, but since the pot has soil from grandpa’s garden, it can be tulips or narcissus since grandpa had a lot there. Whichever it is, it would be pretty! I have to transplant them asap, but I’m afraid to damage the delphinium’s roots.

Also, today I received seeds from exotic-plants.de (I bought them from their Amazon’s shop). They have a lot of beautiful flowers’ seeds! That’s where I got the adenium, wisteria and camellia seeds last time. Now I got 5 new varieties, I put a picture from their shop so you can see how they look when they grow. I’m in love with my little Luang Lai adenium, so I got another variety. I have to transplant the remaining snapdragons to use the seedbed. I should have bought another one! I didn’t think all the snapdragons I planted would grow, I’m proud of them! I can’t wait to germinate the new seeds~

There are a lot of sprouts growing up!

• In the purple seedbed there is basil
  
• The green one has snapdragons (there are 3 big ones and you can see a lot of little ones in the soil)
  
• In the brown ones there are sweet williams
  
• Look at this! Remember that misterious pot called “Lemon & mandarin ???” there is something growing up there! I wonder which of them?
  
• There is a rosebud opening beside the yellow rose
  
• Can you help me identifying this one? Mom had this pot on the balcony, and I started taking care of it after installing the greenhouse (along with some other plants she had there) and after watering it regularily it has grown a lot! She isn’t sure if it’s a plant or just some weed. Do you know what is it? [Edit: mom says it some kind of tall blue flower that grew in grandpa’s garden, maybe delphinium?]

I should put the tomato plants in bigger pots and tie them properly, they are growing quickly! I should give some of them to my aunts because if all of them grow fine I won’t have that much space for them…
