Garlic Seedlings - Time to Check Them

These were taken on April 5, my birthday. My first time trying garlic in the New England zone of the USA [Northeast]



Here is the story of planting garlic in this area. Seed must be planted in advance I stared them early in November 2009. After assisting the “Art in Bloom Program” with Charlie Nardozzi a Charlie is well known as is said in his website:
Public speaker, TV show host

Radio show host, Book author and free lance web and print writer, Garden coach, Voice over artist.

I had the chance to speak with him regarding the ‘secrets of planting garlic’ here. He gave a quick orientation about planting and mulching [5” thick] to keep them safe from winter.

After almost concluding my Master Gardening course in the UVM Extension Master Gardener [University of Vermont], the idea of doing gardening it is a serious task in order to get the healthiest harvest avoiding diseases with care knowing what is better and correct for the plants.

So, here I am applying what I have read, learned, listened to. Starting the 2010 garden excitement!

Checking every day how things are going, here is what I have after almost a months, they are ready to be transplanted. I have controlled the right light, temperature and water. My place has no enough light but I improved some artificial light [growing light]. Now it is time for a ‘new home’ with different soil. I mixed half of growing seed soil and the normal one plus some fish emulsion. I must treat them with so much care!!

 Hot peppers! Since I planted mixed seeds, it is good to wait and see what varieties will grow in your garden. They look happy, healthy, colorful so far...

Snapdragon seedlings. Same with them... I just will wait which color I will get once they are in the garden.
