I see many of you have snow covering your containers with spring only in the far distance. I'm sure we southerners still have several weeks left before the last frost day. However day time and nite temps have been mild 65+high / 37 low, there abouts.
Checking on my containers today, I do have a 57% germination rate. Went to my journal and marked these 53 containers with a milestone for "germinated" and changed the status to "germinated". Although I do have a status named "Deader than a Door Nail", I hope I don't have to use it on these containers. Three of the containers in the blanket covers were very dry. Even though we had rain and tornatos in the area, I did water all the containers for the first time day since I set most out January 14. They're on the ground under a large shady pine tree.
Who also has containers showing sprouts of life?
