Seed Germination Update

Cardboard greenhouse seems to be working. Except for eggplant and pepper, other veggies sprouted well. Ideally I should have waited for true leaves to appear before I blog on update. But I could not resist the temptation once I clicked a couple of pictures.

                                  
                                          Vegetable            %Germination       Day(s)

Broccoli (after 9 days)


French Beans (after 9 days)

Coriander breathing inside the dome. Yet to show up.

So far I have watered the seedlings only twice. Coco-peat and newspaper are holding the moisture.

  2. Eggplant , pepper and Corriander take forever to germinate....atleast 3weeks, patience is the key!!! Good job.
