More Germination

With the weather back up into the low 80's the last two days, there has been a lot of action in my seedling trays. Today's big surprise were the "Cabaret" Zinnias. There was no green at all in these cells when I left for work and now 11 hours later - ta da! - I have 16 plants up.

Here is the breakdown of what has germinated at this point:

• "Howden" Pumpkin - 5/6 cells
• "Hale's Best Jumbo" Muskmelon - 2/6 cells
• "Addis Pickle" Cucumber - 12/12 cells
• "Red Metamorph" Marigold - 4/18
• "Dancing Petticoats" Cosmos - 5/18
• "Cabaret" Zinnia - 16/24
