    You’ve covered so much in a quick 30. I struggle with the week counting, in real time, but to have to time travel to adjust the zone difference is trippy. You are just 4 weeks behind, as I straddle a 6/7, and usually err to the cooler temp. This explanation was great. This will be my first year with cool flowers, and it’s been like a learning new language. Kudos to all those that share their successes and failures. I blend my veggies with flowers with herbs, using raised beds, in ground, trellising and now a 70’ cut flower bed. Said happy birthday to lisianthis yesterday and the rest of the seed packets are lined up ready to start in the next weeks. Love watching your journey.

    If you file a spot on the Nasturtium seeds with a nail file or nick them with a sharp knife they will germinate much faster and better.

I read somewhere that it would increase the germination rate and I swear it worked! And high five for reusing the take out and fruit containers for seed starting. I've been using the grape, strawberry and cherry tomatoes containers for years. I learned to keep them out the sun (heat) because the will warp and melt easily.
