Porch Seedlings

What's left of my cool season vegetables (plus the Oregon Spring seedlings) are currently living on my enclosed porch. It's south-facing and gets sun all day. I've been cracking the windows during the day to start exposing them to a little wind and started leaving them open during the night a couple of days ago. So far, all seems to be going well!



I sowed this window box very thickly with spring greens as the seeds were 10 years old, but they seem to still be quite viable!



This is the box post-thinning with lots more space for the largest seedlings to grow.

  1. Nice! I've read in some places that lettuce seed is only supposed to be viable for a year, and way over planted my seeds because they were older... I have a lot of thinning to do as well! They're looking beautiful!

  2. Thanks for stopping by! I hadn't heard the one year only thing, but I figured over 10 years in less than optimal conditions (think hot attic...) was probably not exactly going to help viability.
