What did you do in the garden today?

You might try sprouting them on a damp paper towel in a clam shell food container. At the first sign of germination, move them to the planting soil.

I used a glass petri dish with tissue and just notice a few more seeds are showing white tails after two months in there. Anyway, the planting directions on the seed website says not to use this method and not to use covered trays.

No, it's very thin like ink. https://www.reimerseeds.com/tycoon_tomato.aspx

I really want to grow these; they produce large tomatoes and only reach 3 feet tall. I saw them growing in a YouTube Garden.

I hope you see more sprouts soon.

Seed coatings usually dissolve quickly but most of those zinnia seeds did not. I removed the ones that grew and left the others a very long time and kept checking. Then I finally dug out a few and the bright yellow coating was still intact.

Zinnia seeds are not that small. I couldn't understand the need to coat them at all.

I don't think this one will make it. I see black on the tip before the green seed. You need to blow up the picture to see it. However, the stem straightened out, it was curled down in a U shape the other day, so I am not sure.

Terrible photo as the tile and the laminate go together beautifully in real life. The laminate 'grain' is streaked with the tile color.

Anyway. Done with the floors, except for a good mopping. Not bothering with that for now.
Tomorrow I'll start painting the trim for around the window, door, and floor.

I'm still waiting on the barn door hardware so I'll work on trim while I wait.
The trim will be the same blue as the walls so it vanishes.

The grout is still setting, so it's a no-go zone except for me as my feet fit within a tile square as opposed to DHs clumsy size 12

Made noodles and turkey and noodles cooking. I have been watching garden videos. Trying to learn more about lupine flowers. Often listed as perennial. One video says biennial which would explain why purchased plants flower but never come back.

I see that spot on the tip. I've had seedlings behead themselves like that. I still let them grow until there is no hope. If you still have seed maybe tuck 1-2 in that pot and see what happens?

I love blue. That's a beautiful shade!

Looks great! Just curious, but what's the reason for having two different flooring types in one room?

I was thinking about planting lupines here, but read that some varieties can be toxic to chickens, so I decided not to plant them. I think the native lupines are self seeding and come back year after year.
