look at this cutie
One of Kell's babies at 2 months
from overhead
ohhh, that is sweet looking, lucky you
and the rest of the family
Linda, they're looking great.
Yes they are looking great and so fat and big for their size.
I need to transplant to larger containers now, but I just don't have room. I'm hoping that two more weeks will get me into the greenhouse and I can do it then. Your plants look really nice Linda.
Thanks all, yes they are outgrowing my space. They're getting so big they push each other sideways. I took 6 to the gh over the week end, I just don't have any room out there either. I have 2 cups with about a dozen each almost ready to pot up to 4". What is wrong with me??? Where do I think I'm going to grow them all??
Linda they all look wonderful. What crosses are you growing?
LOL Linda, welcome to the club. We are nuts. I must say yours look better than mine. Such adorable chubby babies. What kind of lights do you have going there? They sure are not stretching for the light. And such big leaves.
Hi Kell, they're doing great. I just use cool whites. I did change them all out at the beginning of my seed starting season and use the old ones in the garage/workshop (I've got a bucket full of old tubes out there). The lights are in their highest position, so a few leaves have gotten burned. That's the point when they have to go outside.
Donna, the baby above is L'Amour X EP, some of the others are Butterfly X Rosamond and Rosamond seedling X Butterfly. (think I might get some pinks out of them)? There are some others too.
lhughes ~ The babies look great.... I think that they are entering the toddler stage!
Good luck to them, you're a fantastic "mommy!" Jackie
Well I think I will switch then to just cool whites. I will say when I go to buy bulbs, they have them under so many different names now it is hard to figure out which is which. I was going to post to Scoot about the many kinds when I was looking last month. I figured she would know about all the different kinds. Then again, I almost do not want them to gorow too weel, LOL! They get too big too fast. But I will be moving the teenagers all outside to gallon cans as soon as I get home.
SPRING IS IN THE AIR!! Even in NJ!
It is a beautiful day here today, but the forecast is that the last 2 weeks of Feb will be the coldest temps that we've had all winter. My elec/gas bill is almost as much as my mortgage. Oh well, what we do for our plants.
Kell, I usually buy the cheapest cool white bulbs I can find at Lowe's. Two to a package (but I forgot the price, $3 or $4). 40W
Your Brug seedlings all look very happy and healthy! May they award you with gorgeous blooms!
Thanks Shirley, I hope I'll have lots of lovely blooms to post this summer.
WOW, Linda, they are wonderfully healthy, fat, beautiful babies!!!! I'm most impressed and green with envy, lol...
Well Linda, Kell is the Queeen of Pink so you should have some good pink babies there lol
Wow, they look great!
Gosh, I am feeling pink pressure. What if they all are white duds? I will have to hide out.
ROFL Kell
We'll forgive you one time, Kell. LOL
LOL. I hope you will. I remember my first batch of seedlings. Mostly white suaves. But I was so dumb it took another year for me to realize they were not so good. LOL
Well, I'm confident that there will be pinks. They are being watched over by a pink fairy (photo later).
Linda, they really look great. I'm sure you will get some keepers from them. I guess you will have to turn your entire yard into brugs.
Linda, what great looking babies...
Pink Fairy
Thanks all.
Larry, your babies are old enough to be in the gh. I'm keeping them warm.
LOL Linda.
Those look so very healthy! Good job! I hope you get the colors you want - but don't be too disappointed if you don't. What I liked so much about my seedlings this last year is the scent - it was unbelievable.
Those are some nice looking babies. I'm embarrassed to show you a picture of mine. Your doing great with them.
They sure do look nice. I'm battling those darn slugs again... Hopefully one day next week I can pulll everything out of the GH and fumigate it really well. I've been trying everything else!!!
Thanks all, these are all still inside so no problems with slugs there. I have seen evidence of their damage in the gh. I'll have to pour out some more Diatomaceous Earth around the pots and at the walls. I can't imagine where I'll plant all these babies (and I just potted up another 30 or so today).
Your babies look great, Linda. I love your pink fairy! I hope it works!
