🍓 From Tiny Seeds to Healthy Green Seedlings! 🍓

"ALPINE- Strawberry"

Anyone who has tried growing strawberries from seed knows they can be incredibly finicky and take a lifetime to germinate.

But patience pays off!

Sown (seeds) date:

Plant out:

Look at these healthy little ones showing off their first proper sets of true leaves.

They’ve officially passed the trickiest stage, and today they are graduating from their shared container into their very own 50mm tube cells.

These are so beautiful.
If you go back to my previous posts when I started these from seeds.

And the journey watching these grow from seed to seedlings to transplanting the seedlings Into my garden beds and now they are flowering.
Life is amazing how to continues to grow and evolve.

Watching the changes weekly and taking photos of the progress of plants.

Beautiful healthy plants.

These marigolds can be grown in subtropical climate Autumn/ winters.
Dry winters. (Not summer)

They also prefer to be grown in southern states in summer. Dry summers. (Not winter)

Look how big they are now.
Crazy growing fast!

Now ready to go to new homes.

My seedlings are now growing very fast.
Once they have the 2nd set of leaves bigger, they will then be transferred to individual pots to grow out more.

Hint...
As they are a bit floppy, sow them out and cover with soil, right up to the 1st set of leaves. This will help them to stand up, plus the root system will be more in the soil and receive more nutrients to grow stronger and healthier.
A tip I got from my local nursery I volunteer at.
