Baby bunching onions 🧅
The grow light has been raised slightly to stop the onions from touching the light. And the plastic wrap has been removed.

After 2 days my bunching onions have sprouted. I'll keep the plastic wrap over them a bit longer. However I added a grow light.
My unglamorous setup looks like this now:
Bottom heat provided by my pellet stove (which is protected by a piece of plastic).
An old pan is used for watering and catching any mess.
My recycled plastic seed snail.
Plastic wrap held in place with an elastic band
And a grow light held slightly higher by a couple rows of clothes pegs / clothespins.

The warm weather makes me itch to get out in the garden. I sowed bunching onion seeds yesterday. I'm trying a new method (which you can research called seed snails) where instead of sowing into module trays, you cut a long strip of plastic, spread seed starting soil on it and roll it up. Then the seeds are sprinkled on top.
Since the roots have access to deeper growing medium, they're supposed to be better. We'll see....
My strip of recycled dog food bag was about 8 to 9 inches wide by about 3 ft long.
Want to join me in sowing seeds? My seed snail is bottom watered and I'm keeping it on my pellet stove to provide bottom heat. I have a bit of plastic wrap over the top to keep the humidity high.

We're in a winter storm which means it's the perfect time to dream about gardening 🪏
These are the seeds I'll be sowing this spring. Vegetables, grains, herbs, and flowers.
Some seeds need light to germinate so I don't cover them with soil. Chamomile is one.
Some seeds need dark to germinate so they need to be buried. Calendula is one.
Some need to feel the cycle of cold and thaw. Poppies need this and light.
Others are not fussy and will grow with little care. That's why children can grow beans in paper towel.
