🌱 Hello all, I hope this post finds everyone scrolling in good health and high spirits! I’m trying to stay positive during these rough times, and the warmer weather is helping that significantly!
🌱 My last post mentioned my snap-pea plants, and I had promised to post my transplant process. So here it is, just three weeks late! With everything going on, I’ve been very distracted, but I’m back on track (I hope)!
🌱 I had planned to transplant the seedlings into my containers by March 21st, 2020, but since they had matured enough to do so, I transplanted all six of my snap-pea seedlings on March 13. Following my how-to guide, I used medium-sized containers about 7-8 inches deep for these guys. I originally had 8 snap-pea seedlings planted, but only 3 from the egg-carton and plastic containers each sprouted and thrived. I used two of the same sized containers and planted three seedlings in each one. I planted them a few inches apart in the containers, and used the same make-shift trellis in the container pots as I used in the egg-carton and plastic containers (seen in previous picture updates). I watered them heavily directly after, and continued to place them in the same windowsill as my other seedlings, allowing for optimal amounts of sunlight per day (about 7-8 hours), while placing them away from the cold window during the night.
🌱 I also transplanted two of my radish seedlings that were mature enough to do so at the same time as the snap-peas. I planted them a few inches apart, but decided not to disturb the root systems as drastically as I did the snap-peas. I watered them heavily directly after transplant and gave them the same amount of sunlight as my other plants. At the time of posting this update, both of them are thriving!
🌱Update on Snap-Peas to follow!
