Spring Seedlings

On February 17th, I planted several flower, herb and veggies seeds indoors on my grow shelves.  To get a start on the spring planting.
I planted the following:

Flowers

  • Zinnias - Purple Prince, Giant Violet Queen, Lilliput Mixed Colors
  • Marigolds - Burpee's Best Mix
  • Morning Glories - Tall Mix
  • Oriental Poppy - Brilliant Red
  • Alyssum - Royal Carpet

Herbs

  • Sweet Basil
  • Common Chives
  • Cilantro
  • Echinacea - Purple Coneflower

Veggies
  • Kale - Lacinato
  • Eggplant - Black Beauty
  • Cucumber - Marketmore 76
  • Watermelon - Sweet Scarlet Hybrid
  • Cantaloupe - Hale's Best Jumbo
  • Summer Squash - Pic-N-Pic Hybrid

The morning glories, zinnias, marigolds, watermelon, squash, cucumbers and kale are all really taking off and I'll need to move them outside soon.  However, with the recent swing in temperatures and possibility of yet another freeze, I'm going to try to postpone it for as long as possible.
