The first seeds are up

Wifey let me know this morning that seeds that had come up since I planted them Sunday morning.  I couldn't tell anything from the pictures she sent, but I just looked for myself.  Sure enough!  We have some fledgling plants! 

In the marigold picture, it's reasonably easy: it's the line greenish thing in the middle of the picture.  It's sort of hard to tell with the petunias, though.  If I didn't already know that petunia seeds are black little dots, I'd be skeptical.  Since this is my second year starting petunias, I know that what we see in that picture is a bunch of little tendrils coming from the seeds.  Neat!

No sign of life from the other seed varieties.

  2. Hey Neil.
    What flowers are you growing? And what state? I'm always curious about how other people schedule their gardens vs seasonal changes.
