OLD SEEDS

Today is turning out to be a spectacular South Florida day with a clear azure blue sky and a warm tropical breeze blowing. The sun is out and it is just a day you want to plant something.

I started looking at my seeds saved from 2007 and 2008 and decided to start some for the garden. I had saved up a stack of plastic yogurt cups so today presented the perfect opportunity to put them to use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First thing was to cut out four drainage holes in the bottom of the empty yogurt cups.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dogs were close by during the production line of drain hole cutting. They give me weird looks as if to say,"what are you doing now"?


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seed starting mix is now put in the cups and water added until the whole mixture is wet. The seeds are added and marked with homemade labels with the seed name and date started.


This morning we started :
4- Park's bell peppers Whopper improved hybrid.
2- Park's Pepper Thai Hot.
2-Burpee Zinnia Highlight
4- Evelyn's Yellow Beauty Marigold ( very old seeds from my Mom's Marigold plants )
2- Yellow Bush ( unknown seeds I had saved from the blooms of a apparently Yellow bush back
in 2007 and put in an envelope. I have no clue as to what they are but I did
mark the envelope Yellow Bush 06- 20-07).

Now we just have to wait and see what sprouts if anything. ... sanddune...
