Hello peoples and welcome back to
spring! This is my 3rd year having a vegie garden. The last two years I planted "pre-grown" plants for my garden. This year I've decided to start with
seeds! To start the
seeds off I am currently using "Jiffy Professional
greenhouse" that holds 72 Peat Pellets. (I only used 38 of the pellets and also, I wasn't sure if I could just plant the
seeds outside to begin with.) I originally was just going to plant the
seeds outside in the totes and containers but my brother advised me to use the
greenhouse kit. So I did.
Well, so far, I have a few that have already sprouted and
growing! I just planted all of the
seeds on the 14 of this month. I would have never guessed that they would sprout that fast! So far, the ones that have sprouted are: 1 corn, 2 green onions, 3 green beans, 1 snap pea, and 1 pumpkin. They are
growing A LOT FASTER than I ever anticipated! As of today, the corn and the pumpkin are too tall for the
greenhouse kit.
So my question: Am I able to put them in a tiny pot and begain "training" them to be transplanted outside. Okay, well, nevermind. I still think it's too early to put them outside. Would it be okay for me to put them into small pots and leave them by a window plus my plant light. Or do they still need a
greenhouse invironment? I was thinking I could maybe make my 46 gallon fish tank (never used for fish) into a
greenhouse. I could put saran wrap over the top to hold in the moister and then hang my plant light over it. Or something like that. Not only is it too early to put them outside but one of the plants, the corn, still has no leaves. Just a "pole".
So anywho, some advice and guidance would be great! Share all you want to. When I get back home after work, I'll do some more research. Like I said before, I really wasn't thinking I'd be at this stage yet! Thanks for all of your help!
