Asparagus repotted into soil

14(!) asparagus sproutlings repotted into their own soil tubs.  That's 14/16 seeds that sprouted, assuming the other two don't pop up in the coming days.  Pretty darn good!

Asparagus has appeared!

Yay!  Both asparagus tubs each have 2 sproutlings discovered today.  Removed them from the heat mat and put them under lights.  Will wait a little longer before repotting; hopefully the other sproutlings will follow shortly.

Celery sowed

Sowed celery by sprinkling the tiny seeds in a vermiculite tub.  They'll benefit from the new heated seed mat from the get-go.

Heated seed-starting mat

Bought a heated seed-starting mat today.  Hoping this will help the asparaguys get going, no sign of them yet.  Has been on for a few hours and the tubs seem nice and toasty now.

Asparagus seeds started

First indoor sowing (begonias don't count)!

I miss having asparagus in my garden.  So, sowed 2 x 8 seeds, in vermiculite tubs the old fashioned way.  Put them in clear salad "mini greenhouses".  Now the longgggggggg wait to first harvest begins.  Seed was free from Telsing.
