My parents bought me a greenhouse for my birthday

The dimensions are 10 by 32 ft. I think that I could grow a plant in a flag pattern in here and it would work good.

Rainy day here today, I'm inside pondering my line-up for this year.

Here's what I decided to go with. 1953 Daletas x2, 2342 Stelts and a 2227 Stelts. I will pick the best 2 out of these 4 plants to grow.

Seeds are planted and are warming on a heating mat. Let the fun begin!

2342 Stelts is the first one to sprout, it just started peaking through the soil this afternoon. Still waiting on the other 3.

All seeds sprouted. 3 of them have warped and wonky looking cots for some reason though? Not sure what that's about but oh well.

I was doing the annual removal of walnut tree roots from the edge of the patch.

I moved the pumpkin seedlings into bigger pots today. Plants on the right side of the pic are the giant sunflowers and a turk's turban squash.

I put my plants in the greenhouse during the day.

They look good after being transplanted into the bigger pots.
 
Sunday, April 28 View Page
I finished tilling the outside patch, it's ready for planting.

Plant update, they look okay, maybe a tad bit off. Their first true leaf just looks a little weird to me, maybe the soil mixture is a little low on something. I'm sure once I put them in the ground they'll perk up.
