This week we began the germination process by expanding our
peat pellets and planting our seeds indoors. I used a germination tray that
came with my gardening bed and planted cucumber, bell pepper, zinnia, and
tomatoes. I had accidentally used up a few pellets last week by mistake however
I decided to substitute one bell pepper spot with soil from my garden. I hope
it is still able to grow into a healthy seedling so I can transfer it successfully
into the garden with the rest of them.
Many children learn the process of germination in elementary
school for science class. In my experience I grew beans in Ziploc bags to show
the growth of the seedling. I remember vaguely being excited by the progress of
the bean sprout as it grew to a nice shoot. But other than that, I don’t believe
I’ve tried germination on my own. I’m very excited to see the results as it
would make growing them outside more successful than my other attempts at
vegetable planting.
I found a window on the south of my house. Coincidentally I
just planted some flowers on that windowsill and they are growing very healthily
in flower boxes.
