Checking on the seeds. Day 6.

Well I checked my seeds today.  Most of them are slow except for my zucchini seeds.  Here is a picture of what I found when I uncovered the zucchini seeds:

Since some of the roots are almost 2 inches long I decided to go ahead and plant them in containers so the roots can grow.  I poked 4 holes in the potting soil and put a seed in each.  You can do 3 or 4 seeds to make a more full looking plant.  You can purchase seed starter soil but at this point just a good potting mix that can support vegetables is fine.  Thanks to this cold weather the seeds need to stay inside.  I've put down plastic in my laundry room and this is where these plants will start their life.  These plants won't make it to the garden until probably the first week of April.

 



The other seeds either haven't started growing or are just barely sprouting roots so they will stay in their "incubator" until they are ready for transplant.
