    I sprouted Bitter Gourd seeds. I soaked them in water for 24 hours starting March 28th. I then put them in damp paper towels inside zip lock bags and placed in bed with heat blanket on. The Green Skin has had the best germination so far. Yesterday 16 of the 31 seeds had begun to grow tails so I planted them in starting trays. I added 5 more today that grew tails since yesterday. Of the other three varieties only one seed has sprouted so far. 

I also planted a tray of Borage yesterday and a couple dishes of Butterfly flowers and another type of seed or two. I don't have the names of now. I'll add them in later. 

Last Frost

Today is 6 weeks and 1 day until last frost of May 15th. This coming week will be a push to get as many plants started as I can. I will be cleaning out the small greenhouse, putting on the center cap and getting seed trays started.
