Started Seedlings

Last week, Wednesday,I started some seedlings for the garden, last evening I checked them and found that most of them have already sprouted, I was very surprised. I had started some Pansy's, some Red Flax, and Some Cypress Vine. The Vine was the first to sprout and then came the Red Flax. I will see if the Pansy’s will come next, I found that the Pansy is a slow starter and will come up in another week or two. I have another flat of seedlings that I started but there is nothing up in this flat, mainly because I started them 2 days ago. I took a few photos for you to see, they are not artsy photos, just simple snap shots. I sure hope I didn’t start these seeds to soon as it is still very early in my part of the globe. I didn’t think they would come up so fast.

  3. all part of the nurturing botanical in your soul Horst; from little seeds big things grow. The white hippeastrum (your amaryllis), wonder what the differences .... it's beautiful

    1. Hey Carole, I have a house full of Amaryllis, seedlings from my White and Red Amaryllis. They may be Pink or maybe striped, don't know they take up to 5 years to bloom the seedling babies are only 2 years old so far. I still have to trans plant some of them, they are bursting out of the communal pots.

    2. My White Amaryllis has a few clone babies in a big pot, they all are blooming right now. I must separate them this spring when it warm outside. Need to buy some big pots.

  4. You have the best touch with Amaryllis's. Better than me. Your seeds did come up fast.
    It took my pansy three weeks for one to sprout and one died, drooped.
    I enjoy seeing your photos.

    1. Hi Nancy, my Pansy's are not up yet, just the others. It will take a lot longer for them.

  6. I found, last year, that there could be a problem with fungus so I learned that Camille Tea can keep the fungus away. I the U.S, I believe you can still get Damp Off, for your seedlings. That's what can really help them.

  7. I think to plant the seeds it is a bit early because the weather is cold.
    At least here in Greece it is at this moment..
    Happy gardening, Horst!!!

  8. Those came up very quickly Horst. It may be early but then again you'll have Pansies to photograph that much sooner....

    1. Hey Darlin, I will more than likely have to transplant them into a bigger pot before it is time to put them outside. I'll buy something bigger in the next few weeks.

  14. HI Horst!! Thats a German name...my halfbrother has it. Its a she. We have 5 of them. Hunting dachshunds. She escaped last night and hunted a roe for 75 min at leas.

    1. Wow, 5 hunting Dachshunds, they are tough little dogs. So English is not allowed on your site? Or maybe just written in Swedish. Blogger has a translator, so no problem there. Yes my name is German, I was born in Germany. We immigrated to Canada in 1953.

    2. :-) Ich bin ja halbdeutsch. Meine Mutter kam aus Deutschland, ich bin in Schweden geboren.Ich habe Freunde und einige Familie da. Ich habe die Sprache als Kind gelernt und spreche ohne Problem. Klar kan man englisch schreiben und ich habe ja ein translator auf meine Seite. Wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende.

  15. Hi Horst, good luck with your seedlings, it's too cold here to get anything going, unless indoors or a heated greenhouse, but I've had a load of Geraniums delivered from Jersey, courtesy of my daughters for Mothers day, I shall harden them off for about a fortnight then cross fingers and put them in their new homes afterwards. Thanks for dropping by, I've just been so topsy turvy since Crufts, but hopefully will soon get back on track. Take care of YOU XX

  16. My seedlings that I planted for my veg garden I think will have to come inside this weekend. They threaten storms and when that last happened all my seedlings got washed away!!! We have a green house in pieces but it is not going to be up in time. I just love these DIY jobs that have such complicated instructions!! Hope your seedlings do well. Diane

  18. Oh, I'm ready Tim, but it is still a little too early to do much outside.

  19. Hi Horst, it's always so hopeful seeing tiny sprouts pop out of the soil. I bet you'll do great with them. Your amaryllis are gorgeous!

  20. Preciosas las fotografías de tus amaryllis blancos, yo tengo plantas de rayas pero aun no han florecido por que están en la calle. Hoy ha sido mi primera visita a tu excelente blog y seguiré visitandolo. Saludos desde Madrid.

    1. Hey Andrew, I have about 50 Amaryllis plants that I grew from seed that I propagated from this White Amaryllis and my Red Amaryllis. I still have the Red Amaryllis as well. It is fun to watch them grow.
