Our 2026 Garden: two more luffa!

Look what I found when I checked the pre-germinating seeds today!

The last two luffa seeds have radicals!

They are now potted up into Red Solo cups. This time, I remembered to use warm water when pre-moistening the seed starting mix. I had the heater running on the area I was working on, too.

With the space I had in the drain tray, I switched the paper towel the eggplant seeds were on into a smaller container. So far, nothing on the peppers and eggplant. This is definitely a first. Usually, the luffa have always been among the latest seeds to germinate. Before using the pre-germination method, I often had to start new seeds, sometimes twice over, before we finally had something germinate.

Now we just have to see if they will survive being potted up!
