Signs of Spring

The sun is shining today and there are faint signs that spring is around the corner, despite the forecast for possible snow this Sunday. The Victoria seeds that arrived last week from Kit Knotts in Florida are beginning to sprout, which is always an indication that spring is not far off. We also have several Euryale seedlings that have produced their first floating leaves. One small problem was discovered yesterday - three of our four heaters for the water tanks holding our seedlings stopped working. Replacements are on the way, and hopefully will arrive before the temps dip back into the 20's overnight! Weekly fertilization of these seedlings will begin today, and I will post progress photos soon!
