Babes in Garden Land

My broccoli (Calabrese), cauliflower (Snowball X), marigold (Crackerjack mixed colors)seeds have sprouted!



The marigold's and cauliflower's germination rate is 83%. Broccoli is only 50%. I only need two broccoli plants, but so far I only have three seedlings.

Snapdragons haven't done anything yet. They took forever last year too, but the rate was pretty high in the end.

I also turned over three of the garden beds this evening. I added epsom salts, bone meal, and a few good scoops of our compost. The compost is not finished yet, but it will finish breaking down in the beds. I'm pretty happy with the Mel's mix. It looks great after the first winter.
