starting seeds




We had lots and lots of snow in early December and I had no time to cover all my plants.Then in January most of snow melted so I had to cover my pots.
I am relay enjoying winter dough .I am caching up with reading and last week I started some seeds.MY Escobaria had 3 seed capsules last year .Very odd ,they where soft , full of seeds and gelatin like substance .After 3,4 weeks all that dried out and I did and up with lots of little seeds .They germinated and now they are the size of sunflower seeds. It will take 2 years before planting them all outside.Lots of seeds are popping up. Centauria rupestris germinate in obandece and its growing like weed .Its makes me happy because lots of people ask for it.I really need to have a big greenhouse.Maybe next year.
