That all sounds good. Mine were a bit on the cool side in the basement and they came up in about a week. Are your seeds fresh or several years old?

My seeds are germinating so fast it's become a full time job.

heat+humidity dome FTW

Has anyone ever planted coriander seeds from the grocery store?

I've never tried from the grocery store. My coriander patch replants itself every year as i usually let one plant go to seed, and they just come up in the spring.

Some of mine are finally sprouting now (about 20 of the hundred so far). A humidity dome would probably be a great idea

Don't underestimate heat either. The seeds i planted that said 7-21 day germination were popping at 3 days.

True too. Its just less easy to control without wasting heat on the whole house.

So we picked up some Calla Lily bulbs that a nice feller was giving away. I think we maybe got the wrong batch for us... :lol:

Garden expansion today. Our friend Bob came over with his tractor and tiller attachment, and made our garden a lot better (bigger!). Beats the hell out of using a shovel like we had been doing...

Last weekend, I installed a couple of 11ft Queen Palm trees (not real) in front of the house. Just gotta tidy up the flower beds now. And I still haven't planted my veggie garden yet. We're supposed to get frost tonight, so I'm glad that I haven't yet.

I harvested three of my four garlic varieties yesterday. I was hoping the heads would be on average a little bigger but I can't say I'm disappointed overall.
