About 80 or so hours after sowing the cauliflower and broccoli. I removed the humidity dome and moved the trays to a lower shelf. There are a few skips (cells with no seedlings yet), but I believe they will pop up. I have to remove the humidity dome to let the seedlings get some air and avoid damping off. The faster I can remove the dome, the better.

Now it's just a matter of raising the lights a chain link at a time and baby sitting their water needs. I just dump in a quart of water to the bottom of the tray, whenever they need it. Then hardening them off outside after they get a few sets of true leaves.

If all goes well, we'll have 50 foot rows of cauliflower and broccoli.

Well, woke up and sugar was 168 and BP was 138/80 and feet not too bad. Gave it all to God and went about my business. Got the wood at HD and cut the 10ft into 2 5ft. 1ft in ground. 2 sides have posts. Found 2x4 treated at a good price. Tomorrow have to figure out how to attach the field fencing to the wood. Not using u graps. They are a pain in the thumb.:rant

Hope to find cat,claws fasteners instead.Might have to drive up to TSC.

I also noticed that my Italian parsley is very alive after the snow as well as the oregano, :eek:

Then after dinner, I pulled the tables and gathered my cells and all the seeds I have and bought. Yes, finally opened the Gurney's 📦 🤣
I have to sit down and read all the timing for each and write germ days and maturity days.

Watering is important for the seedlings.

3 days after sowing onion seeds, the very first one pops up. The flag leaf on onions are weird. They generally grow in a hoop with the end still stuck in the soil. I used to snip the hoop with scissors but as of late, I just leave them alone. It's just the flag leaf (first leaf) the mature leaves follow shortly.

This tray is white sweet spanish summer onions, .it's good to know the seeds are good. I had a hard time finding OP/heirloom onion seeds. These are from a different seed company than I usually buy them from.

Well, not catclaws fasteners up at TSC so ordered them through Amazon and should get here tomorrow.
Found a shelve unit in the crap outside. Cleaned it up and put by window. Figure once the seed sprout, I can give the dome sunlight through the window.
