Our 2025 Garden: we have radicals!

After only two days!

But first, I need to share a funny.

My daughter and I did our first city stock up shop today, and one of the places we went to was a Walmart.

Where I found this.

Yeah…. that’s some savings for the original price! 🤣🤣

I don’t think that display of tea is even that price. I’ve bought it at other stores for less than the “sale” price, but a lot more than that “original” price! There were no prices on the shelves at all. Just the hilarious one above.

But I digress!

After we got home, everything was packed away and the outside kitties were fed, I was finally able to head down to the dungeon to check on the seeds that were set up to pre-germinate.

Wow! Talk about fast! It’s only been two days, and there are already radicals showing!

Even the luffa has one seed with a radical emerging! The only ones that aren’t showing radicals are actually the ones I expected to see first; the Sunshine squash seeds, which were showing cracks in their outer shells already. The Baked Potato squash are already 100% germinated!

Which means that tomorrow or the day after, it will be time to start putting them into pots.

I’ll have to make sure to warm the area, and dampened seed starting mix, first! The thermometer I set up on the work table was at 9C/48F That heat mat is really making a difference! The way things are going, I might end up setting up the spare clamp lamp with a 150w ceramic heat bulb over the trays, to make up for how cold the basement it.

We shall see.

For now, I’m just excited that the pre-germination is working out so well, and so quickly!
