Green Thumbs: Gardening in Northern Utah

This next part of our garden has me the most nervous of all.  This is the point I killed everything last year.  The seedlings were much, much smaller then, so I’m hoping that the extra size will help them this year.

We had the grow light in the basement, but brought it upstairs to make it easier for our friend who plant-sat while we were in California.

They’re looking pretty good, aren’t they?

I waited too long, I think, to replant a lot of the seedlings.  They’ve taken well to their new cups now, but I probably should have moved most of them sooner.  I ended up repotting most of them, with the boys “help” in a mad rush the night before we left.

Starting tomorrow, the plants are going to get their first taste of real sun.  It’s been so cold here and we had a lot of snow again today, so I won’t have them out for long, and in a pretty sheltered place.  Every few days I’ll leave them out a little longer.  Hopefully they’ll be ready to go in the garden boxes in the next 2 weeks.
