Title: KathyP, for you, the germination proof of phacelia and borage, smiling
Post by: Cindi on March 23, 2009, 01:21:43 pm

Kathy as promised, this will show the borage officinalis and phacelia tanacetifolia growing.  Been having such an issue with internet services I am not sure I will have the time to get all of this in this post, keep being bumped out.  Have a wonderful and awesome day, Cindi

Phacelia and Borage about two weeks after germination, both pictures were taken in consecutive years, so the dates will vary, depending upon the weather around.  They both germinate in pretty cool conditions.  ACtually phacelia prefers a cooler temperature, say around 45 degrees.

Phacelia and Borage showing first bloom, they bloom pretty quickly once growing strong.

Kathy, just remember, there are alot of hungry birds around, lightly cover the seeds so they can't see them, smiling.  Beautiful day in our great life.  Cindi
