Well, many sources say that today is Garden Bloggers Bloom day. For me its feeling more like save the blooms day! (we're suppose to get a freeze tonight). So I thought this picture might be more fititng:
Its like our plants are having a sleepover. heh.
As for indoor plants and seedlings, I think I may have been an eager beaver when starting my Zinnia seeds. I'm running out of window space and sunlight. If it were warmer out I could be setting my seedlings out during the day and that would remedy the problem. But this hasn't really been the case the past couple of days.
Instead my Zinnia seedlings are stretching for light:
..and getting a touch leggy. The few Zinnia seedlings I still have under the light are doing great:
They are a great color green and are growing really dense leaves. I'm also assuming this dense leaf thing is a good thing and not a "my roots have reached the bottom so I'm going to stop growing up" thing.
Either way, I could really use a some more lights, a cold frame or a greenhouse! If I had room to start more of my own plants I'd be super excited. I'll have to plan for this for next year but would love to hear about anyone else's approaches.
