Huh

Blog has been slightly glitchy lately and I've had a few problems the last two times I've tried to post. I guess it's too much to expect all my logs to be updated constantly. In any case, at least relative dating is still allowed and so in practice, anything within the week's range isn't too bad.

Germinated lately: thyme. Except they're dying because the soil that's suitable for germination is too water-logged for the seedlings, and my room moisture content isn't high enough for the seedlings to adjust to by themselves immediately. I'm trying to figure out how to go about gradually decreasing the moisture level at a rate that is greater than the rate of seedling dying because the moisture is too high but less than the rate that'll cause the seedlings to go "OMG WATER. NEED. WATER."

I'm...working on it.

Feverfew (#2) have started germinating. They face the same problem, I think, so we'll see how this works out.

Garlic chives (#2) are growing well so far. They're in terracotta pots which apparently leaks water like you wouldn't believe, so they don't germinate as well but a greater percentage of them seem to stay alive afterwards.

My coleus plant exist. They don't seem to be doing all that much growing right now. I think it's the root establishment stage, but ...are coleus annuals or perennials? I forget.

Forget-me-nots are alive and well. Milk cartons suffer less problems than the plastic ones, it seems, and retains moisture better than terracotta. Or maybe it's just because forget-me-nots are naturally moisture loving plants and so can cope better.

The columbines are FINALLY germinating. I feel like cheering, except I don't know how many of them can stay alive in the milk container. They're also relatively moisture loving, so hopefully they'll be fine. Mostly I think I'll keep my fingers crossed, because I've dealt with this cultivar before and some cultivars are more finicky than others.

Nope, no photos. Don't you know that the finals are approaching?
