Up and GROWING

amideutch · March 22, 2009

My seedlings are doing their thing. Planted one week ago today and up for the most part except for the slo-polks. It looks like the sun god will be smiling on us for another day in Germany. Ami

Ami, Thanks for posting! The styrofoam under the trays gives me a solution to my "lack of planning" here. I like the ABC idea as well.

Styrofoam be my height adjusters for the trays plus keeps them from getting cold feet. I also set a sheet of styrofoam in the front to reflect the light back in but removed it for the photo shoot. Ami

Looking good there! My you're organized all alphabetically and everything!

Barbee, thats the way I keep track of them. Got them listed alpha-numeric on my excel spreadsheet and when I transplant them to the 4" CowPots I use the same designation, ie A4 for African Queen. Ami

I'm impressed!
I plant a full cell pack of the variety. Then I write the name of the maters on that cell pack and flop a marker in there just to be safe. Then they're just thrown together all willy nilly. When I pot them up, I write the variety on the cup.
Your way would be much less chance of a mix up.

Funny, Ami, I'm using nearly the same method than you for tracking my seedlings, but no excel spreadsheet. I simply use rasters fitting for each single tray. It wasn't much work to compose them.
