Weekend Seedlings

Last Sunday (7 days ago), Rebecca and I planted a variety of seeds.  It's somewhat embarrassing, but this is the first time we've attempted to start anything from seed, so it's been interesting to watch the growth.

Within a day or two, Rebecca's Ipomoea ×multifida (cardinal climber) had emerged.  We left for a few days, and upon returning, they were 4 inches tall and pushing the lid off the greenhouse.  Not bad for 7 days from seed packet to seedling.

My Coleus (coleus) has started to sprout, but is still quite short.

The Capsicum chinense (aji) seeds I put in the dirt have yet to show any activity.  Likewise with my Viola tricolor (johnny jumpup).

Congrats on the new seedlings! I love starting plants from seed. Once your plants are full grown it is such a reward to look back and think that you achieved that from just a teeny tiny seed.

Great seedlings so far. Give them some time. I noticed most of my seedlings get this week or two that they stay at one small size then they just grow and grow.
