True Leaves - Broccoli



















The broccoli plants are looking good. When starting seeds its a big moment when you see the first signs of a plant pushing through the soil. The next exciting moment is when you see the true leaves of the plant emerge. Soon, I'll need to raise the lights a little above these trays. We want to make sure the lights are close enough when the stems are nice and strong and they plants don't get spindly. I'll wait for another pair of true leaves before I transplant the broccoli to a large container. The thought it to baby these plants inside a bit longer and perhaps early in April the weather will be such that we can plant these outside.
