Eucalyptus Seedlings. 21 Feb 2024

 Here are the Eucalyptus seedlings so far.

Eucalyptus citriordora.  Lemon bush Eucalyptus.  These are in their transplanted container. They look a little sunburned, although they are under the same LED lights as everything else.  Maybe it's just how they look.  They smell exactly like lemon balm, and very strongly for such small plants.


Eucalyptus cineria.  Silver Dollar Eucalyptus.  Some websites stated they needed cold stratification.  I did not, I just had them on the same seed warming mat as everything else.  Tiny, tiny seeds.  It looks loke most germinated.  More than I "need", anyway.



So far I'm quite happy with my Eucalyptus experiments.

Overwintered Garlic Looks Good So Far. 5 Feb 2024.

 Despite some historic cold last month, and slugs, the garlic looks pretty good so far.





Overwintered Chives and Chinese Chives Are Growing. 5 Feb 2024

 These are containers of chives and Chinese chives that I started from seeds last summer.



One has been pulled up.  That's probably a Stellar Jay.  They are pretty but they are obnoxious jerks LOL.

Container Bulbs And Rhizomes Are Growing. 5 Feb 2024.

 Most of the container - planted bulbs have emerged.




You can see tulips, daffodils, grape hyacinths so far.  

In addition to bulbs, some of the bearded iris rhizomes are starting to grow.  Some look better than others.




Onion Seedlings. Progress Notes. 5 Feb 2024.

 Here's how the onion seedlings look now.  They are all growing fine.


I dropped one of the Patterson hybrid onion containers.  That's the one on the far left.  Some have recovered.  I also planted another container of those.  Those have also started to germinate.
