Just 7 days from replanting our onion scraps and they have begun to regrow! I wasn't expecting much from this experiment, so seeing the little bit of green is quite encouraging. Once the leaves are a bit longer I will return the onion to the main garden and bury the bulb. In other exciting garden news, after 33 days the courgettes are finally sprouting and in quite a fabulous fashion. This is my first time growing courgettes and I was surprised at the size of their cotyledons. It looks as though the pie pumpkin seeds may be preparing to push through the soil soon, too. Most seeds need warmth, not sunlight, to germinate. I was originally starting my seeds in the sunroom. Though sunny, the room does not provide adequate heating unless it's a cloudless day. I have since moved the seed starting trays to the warmest part of the house. Once they sprout I move them into the sunroom so they can get enough sun....
