Germination - Week 4

Brussels Sprouts germinated in less than 7 days. We're still waiting for tomatoes to peek out. FWIW, Brussels Sprouts are 5 to 17 days to emergence. Tomatoes are 7 to 21 days.

It's March already and, if that wasn't surprising enough, it's DST weekend. We'll have to sow even faster than before!

Germinators!

Four days after sowing, 5 of the 6 red cabbage seeds have sprouted. The leeks are just barely breaking the soil. Morning soil temperatures are 72F. Afternoon should be a bit higher - will check it in the next day or two.
