Afternoon fellow gardeners,
Thanks guys, your growths look great.:thumb2:
Jim, are you planning to make a forest dio?
Looked at the tray this morning and they have geminated:

Almost all have sprouted, will water them with a pipette and turn each day as they indeed lean to the sun.
Enough to pick for further development.:smiling:

Wow guys,

There are some good looking gardens growing up here and Fernando has made a good start too. There is one thing I don't understand or maybe two things. According to my Funk and Wagnalls, sea foam is this,

So what has this to do with all these plants you are growing???

Ok, so I decided to jump on this wagon and plant some too. This is what they look like after 2 weeks...

Hi Allen, did you get your seeds from one of our grow-shops???:smiling5::smiling5::smiling5:

[Allen Dewire]

Fernando, I could have sworn he said sea foam seeds……..or did he say see funny seeds? Ain't sure anymore my friend!!!

Hi Allen
I am not sure what you are growing!!

[Allen Dewire]

Oh, come on Jim! Think back to your 'Dubious Days' and you'll know all about it. It's actually all in jest though. The pic is from a garden in miniature land in Amsterdam from the 80's....

Hi mate.
Good , now the watering, that compost looks very prone to over watering. It has no grit in its make up.
Several of those compartments look damp still. You need to do one droplet, doesn't seem much but at this stage seedlings can suffer very quickly for too much .

Will take care regarding the watering John, when I planted the seeds I did make sure not to compact the soil too much so the loose make-up of it will aid in drainage.
I also use a shot-glass and a pipette for the watering to keep the compost slightly moist:

When these are ready for transplant, I'll add some grit to their new soil.:smiling3:
Two days later more have sprouted:

Hi fellow gardeners

At the moment they are 4 in a 3" pot so do I leave them or transplant them to their own pot?? Also do they need plant food??

Farmer Jim .
To get bigger plants you could transfer 2 per pot and go up to a 4 ".
As for food no ! Those plants looks healthy, the pink will start soon, with the leaf tip.
Give them as much sun as possible.

Hi fellow gardeners.
I have a veritable forest now. All seem to be growing well. I have transplanted about half of them into individual 3" pots. This is a typical example.
