Romaine Lettuce 'Rosha'
Same seed, different growing conditions after transplantation
The seedling on the left side was transplanted outdoors without any cover, and the one on the right side was repotted into a 13cm pot and stayed in the greenhouse.
The left is dark red, while the right is a mixture of colors.
The right one is 3 times bigger (and I already harvested the outer leaves once) than the left one.
Housekeeping! Time to check the second batch of ox-eye daisy plants I divided on April 5th. So far, 15 pots are all doing well.
I cleaned and removed the spent leaves again.
I gave them some seaweed extract after cleaning up. They will be transplanted to the chicken-run areas with the divided chives in mid-May after the roots are more established.
Housekeeping for the geranium propagated from cuttings - The young plant itself is healthy, and the roots are doing fine.
Taking care of these plants is a priceless hands-on experience after reading and watching how others did. Having the opportunity to enjoy what I want to do is absolutely a blessing.
First, I removed the fading flowers and some leaves so the overall structure could be seen better. Then, I cut one stem as the rest two have a more reasonable growing space in the same container. The cut one was propagated immediately. It's an ordinary garden geranium, but the delights it can offer from successfully rooting, growing, flowering, and becoming the next mother plant are never less than any rare, expensive, and fancy cultivars.
The 2-year-old Mexican orange blossom in the greenhouse, how splendid
The divided sedums, daylilies, ox-eye daisies, and black currant that I transplanted 10 days ago in the soil - as the roots are pretty established, they are adapting fine, too.
In fact, I just put all the seeds I am not willing to sow one by one all together.
