Pea seeds to pea seedlings after 11 days

By on • ( 9 Comments )

Started March 20th, the pea seeds are planted in one eggshell. Far back on the left side.
March 29th
April 1st.
I poked a hole in the bottom of the egg shell with a tack. After 11 days, the root began to poke through the hole.
The seedling got super tall and wobbly. Time to transfer to a pot.
Peeled the eggshell off and here is the ball of roots with the germinated pea seeds.
Tada! Repotted and propped up with help from a stick.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

    1. Thank you Miriam! It was a lot of fun to see them grow and the other seeds are just starting to germinate. I never get basil, so I’m really hoping that this is the spring where I can grow it to some fruition.

    1. It’s growing taller and today I took wooden chopsticks to support its height. I’m wondering if I should’ve planted it a bigger and taller pot. Maybe if it gets too leggy. I’ll transfer. Hopefully it won’t get killed in the process. I usually start strong with gardening and end up with scraps in a few months. eek!

      1. I’m no whiz with houseplants, believe me … I am lucky if I can keep a poinsettia until Christmas without it losing the colorful leaves and looking pitiful.

      2. I usually kill my houseplants too, but my success started with a Pothos plant. I got it 2 Christmases ago and I have propagated many of its stems. And when the fish tank needs some sprucing up, I get some of the stems and place them in the tank.
        If you are interested in a houseplant, like a hardy one, try a Pothos. They are forgiving plants.
