A new season of sowing seeds, watching, waiting and becoming so excited at every seed that sprouts even though I’ve been doing this for over 30 years!! I’m like a child again, checking under the clear humidity domes for any sign of life. Going back multiple times a day sure that NOW there will be some hints of green. And today…..there it is!!
Arisaema flavens from seed I ordered through the NARGS seed-ex last year.
I sowed this seed on the 6th of this month and finally it has sprouted. I had a feeling these would be the first up and sure enough they were! This pot is surrounded by Primula, Dodecatheon, Anemone, Lilium, Rhododendron and Asarum. All seed obtained last year. I aways sow the older seed first because I can’t stand to throw any out.
My lightstand getting very full and will be overflowing soon!
My light stand is already almost full and I am still waiting on this years NARGS seed order which will have 30 packets! So this means that some of the already sown pots will be heading out side to endure the below freezing temps we are getting through the end of this month. Here’s a shot of my back yard this morning where the temperature is now at 0*f up from minus 8!
The back yard overlooking Beebe Pond. Just below this window is where the seed trays will go once I have run out of room under the lights.
Spring will arrive before we know it, but until then I will be keeping you up to date on my seed sprouting adventures!
