Fellow gardeners, do you have a rough estimate from initial leaves to first true leaves? My seeds all popped up within a few days, but have since (almost three weeks) kind of stalled and I’m wondering what others’ experience is. I read 2-3 weeks is typical. <br/><br/>#gardening #tomatoes 2025-04-06T10:25:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyxst525h87uv6zrh69fuz3czrzpm563v4kj8egctasqllyfeyuwczyqwg2tk36ggc4esxqg6lawaevvpdpn3sm0eqh9l7s0n95k6z43d46ec86gf Rain barrels are pretty amazing, but I need more of them *and* some additional storage after they are full. Big thunderstorm tonight, after maybe 30 minutes the 40 gal (? - I&#39;m not sure, I need to check) barrel was full. Drained off about 10 gallons into small jugs, and it was basically immediately full again. There&#39;s rain in the forecast for the next week, and with this supply, I&#39;ll be good for at least a week after that for the various plantings I&#39;ve done recently.<br/><br/>#gardening 2025-04-01T01:41:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdcpcgxq82nrcfq002nwtn3gphq8catakpnspxr823yjlvs39rseczyqwg2tk36ggc4esxqg6lawaevvpdpn3sm0eqh9l7s0n95k6z43d469xm2cp We have butterfly milkweed germination!<br/><br/>#gardening<br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/114/172/647/453/442/616/original/b48e5aa5b3173b87.jpg"> <br/> 2025-03-16T14:46:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst0ag32t5f37tegeuqv4qy868gmtspe4t7dzm3arhnl0ecffcct5qzyqwg2tk36ggc4esxqg6lawaevvpdpn3sm0eqh9l7s0n95k6z43d46ptqywd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspr76clgezaq89jt5lztmxlpgcyz8ppukypjl9nq65t92kdh4fkhqc2q2jj'>nevent1q…q2jj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>thanks! 2025-03-09T04:18:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqrhzag80x92ts4ry2vrtlf7gtsjdzncfuznrz3y5f09rmta0gz4szyqwg2tk36ggc4esxqg6lawaevvpdpn3sm0eqh9l7s0n95k6z43d46lkhzr0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8kvy7cgwvs3jw4h3rgx8e3f24qqm2qnr35d6l350nc54lg6tx6gc9f2ncx'>nevent1q…2ncx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The only thing they don&#39;t have that I used from Proton is cloud storage (glad I stayed with Bitwarden for password management when Proton came out with theirs), but that&#39;s certainly not a deal-breaker.
