And it starts...

It still amazes me every time I start seeds that something so small, can turn into a plant. From the fine dust of petunia seed to a plant so that can be so prolific and completely fill a basket in just under 12 weeks. My two small boxes of seeds will be enough to completely fill the greenhouse to the rafters and probably then some. I am quite excited about what we've selected for bedding out plants this year.

I've started some of the peppers - we are adding an ancho-type hot pepper to the line up this year, along with Ring of Fire cayenne type, a jalapeño and of course we have a multi-colored selection of bells. I'm hoping to get the second seeding of peppers done tomorrow.

The petunias are started - Ultra Mix which is a blend of grandiflora and multiflora types - there are approximately 30 different colors in the mix as well as stars, and veined. I was also studious last season and collected seeds from all of the Wave types we had last year. Between the two trays (which I am not looking forward to transplanting) there should be several hundred (maybe closer to 1000) petunias. They will be used in baskets, planters and available as bedding plants.
