Broccoli & Cabbage Up in 3 Days

Wow! The broccoli and cabbage popped up in less than three days. I have parsley in the same flat but nothing is showing up there yet. I had to take the moisture cover off, so am hoping the parsley isn't far behind.

More Seeding

Removed the first flat of onions from the heat mat and seeded a new 72-cell flat with Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage(18), Packman(18) and Belstar(18) Broccolli, and Giant from Italy Parsley(18) yesterday. I should have verified that they will all germinate at about the same time, but, alas, I did not.

Today the first of the Copra (F1) onions are sprouting as well, so with decent germination rates I should have about 600 onion transplants altogether.

The Onions are Up

I have my temporary seeding room with grow lights set up in the basement. I seeded about 250 Ailsa Craig and 250 Yellow of Parma onions on February 17th and started to see the first shoots today. A little slow to germinate, but the soil temperature in the trays has probably been a bit lower than optimum. As soon as I take the onion trays off the heating mat, I'll be seeding some parsley, broccoli, and cabbage next.
