I planted my Zinnia seedlings last weekend. I bought the starter tray last year and planted a few things- but they didn’t make it. I think I over-watered them. I kept this plastic tray all year in hopes of trying it again this spring. I went to Meijers to look for the little dirt pods and found some! And they were on sale! Yay!
The dirt pods are fun to start. Just lay them in the tray- these didn’t exactly fit my tray, but it seemed to work just fine.
And then put water on them. It didn’t exactly say how much, I just kept pouring until they stopped expanding.
My cat wanted to see what was going on
After they stopped expanding, I can opened the tops of the pods wider.
I then grabbed 2 to 6 seeds to put in each pod. Then tried to cover them over with the dirt- a little tricky. Here is the seed packet. Not sure what color they’ll end up!
I then put the top back on and put it on the table near a window. I know that this window doesn’t get much light, but it’s about the only option I have. I’ll leave the light on that’s above the table. Hopefully that will help!
I’ll continue to take pictures and report on the progress!
