Some onion seedlings I started a few months ago and planted this morning, they're about the size of a pencil.

Impressive. I don't have the patience to keep onion seedlings alive in the house.

Thanks, it's my first time growing seedlings. LOL I didn't have them in the house, they've been out side in a gallon pot since early Feb, then some ant's made a bed out of the pot and I set them in a tub with water to try and drowned the ants and the onions went nuts and grew like weeds.

LOL. I didn't think they'd like wet feet but they sat in the tub for nearly a month and just went crazy!

I have just joined this thread. I am getting excited for this years gardening. I purchased a lot of dormant perennials/bulbs/seeds from a vendor and half of it has arrived. I have 4 raised garden beds that are 8x40' tilled and manure is setting, another garden that is 25x40. As well as a couple raised mulch beds around the garden / barn parking lot, Those are solely for my veggies. I am going to write my flower/plant map for the areas around the house and driveway tomorrow, by the end of the week after our last freeze/frost warning soak the items to get ready for planting. Looking forward to swapping posts/pics

After a night of pondering, I moved one of my seedling trays on top of my cooler-bator. I figured the tray would do as good a job at holding in heat as the giant stuffed frog that had been residing there. Those seedlings should be jumping out of the soil with that extra heat. I have MHP under an other tray, one tray w/o supplemental heat, and an other tray yet to be planted.

My pineapple guava has flowers!!!! The petals (Which are edible) have quite an interesting flavor, I can't put my tongue on it.
