Plant Babies!

It's that time of year again. Seedlings, constant misting, moving trays, checking trays, turning on lights, turning off lights, running the dryer on particularly cold nights...and the list goes on and on. It is a labor of love that's for sure. However, it's totally worth it once all the little seeds start turning into little seedlings and then into little plants and eventually they are all grown and ready to go outside or off to their new homes.


This was weeks ago, things are much bigger now. Before you know it transplanting will begin. If this all seems a little familiar it is because this all happened last year too.

Oh look, here are the same seedling as above, just a little more recently.


And here are some of the Zinnias...do you really even need to encourage these things to grow?



And the coolest so far, the Moon Vines. I will have to take some more recent pictures since they have grown so much in the last week.


Don't you think the one below looks like one of those plants that always kills you just as you are jumping over a pipe in Mario Bros?



Well until I have another photo session in the terribly fluorescent lit garage, this is all I have.

  1. I'd say those are pretty good pictures for having "terrible fluorescent lighting". I swear, your little camera is so amazing. And I can't wait to hear what a moon vine is, something that blooms at night?

  2. Indeed it does bloom at night. It is like a morning glory only white and blooms in the evening, apparently with a quite pleasant fragrance. Still haven't looked up my macro setting yet, but it is on my list of things to do. My 1300 4" pots arrived today, YAY! Can't wait to start transplanting. :)
