OK - basil (3 kinds!) is up & looking like little chia pet carpets in the cells! The purple ones (middle 6 cells) are turning purple! The mouse eared little ball basil did not germinate as well as the purple or the Genovese but that's ok - I think there will be plenty - If not I'll sow again!
The parsley is planted after a 24hourish soak in a cup of water with a tablespoon of H2O2. Let the cup sit on the heating pad. Sowed the seed thickly in a flat, watered well & put in the plastic bag on the heat source. Did add 1 six pack of marigolds to the tray - reckon they'll be up quick.... unlike the parsley.... once the parsley is up I reckon I'll be about done with the electric blanket until next year. My goodness this has been fun!
Tomorrow I pot up my tomato seedlings!
