Checked out the Camrose garden this weekend and did some weeding and watering. The seeds are starting to come up nicely! There is Corn, Sunflowers, some ripening Strawberries, Radishes, Cucumbers, Onions, Squash above the ground now with their first leaves. I didn’t yet see the zucchini and was curious, so dug up a couple seeds to have a look. They have germinated and cracked their seed casings so should be popping their sprouts out this week. The peppers are doing well and some of the indoors-sprouted ones are surviving nicely and some are struggling but hanging on.
The tomatoes are more hit and miss with the ones sprouted indoors. Since we didn’t really get to harden anything off slowly it’s been pretty interesting to see what happens to them in the great outdoors. I know what wind-burned plants look like now! Some haven’t survived at all, and others have, and that may be very dependent on where they are located in the garden. We’ll see how they produce if they survive. All the store-bought tomato seedlings are doing quite well with no wind burn at all. Tonight we’ll go take some pictures of the Millwoods plot for comparison. In the meantime, here are this weekend’s pictures! I’m trying to get pictures of the seedlings right when they first show up as well since I haven’t found any really decent reference pictures like that yet, and they’ll certainly help other new gardeners figure out what’s a weed to pull vs their veggies!
