My little milk jugs have some more seeds sprouting in them now. I mentioned a few days ago that the Alyssum were sprouting. Now I also have the California poppies sprouting, and just the beginning of some action with the Lychnis. I think the Callirhoe are starting to sprout, too, because I believe I’m seeing a few little “tails” poking out of the seeds — the beginnings of a root.

Also, I took some cuttings from the petunias growing in my basement and started trying to root them last night. I had some of them sitting in a cup of water for several days, and others I took straight off the plants. We’ll see which method works better, if there’s any difference.

I bought a remote thermometer for the greenhouse two days ago, so I can see how the temps are going at night and during the day. It’s not very hospitable yet! It got to 29° last night and 107° today (even though the outside temp probably barely hit 50°). It needs a night heater and it needs a thermostat and power for the fan and vent so it can automatically ventilate when it starts getting too hot during the day.
