Yes, me and my tweezers were behind the couch on the floor for a good long while that morning :)))).

I think I realize now from watching the discussions here that the reason more than half of mine didn't do anything is because I put them too far down into those plugs. Sounds like they just like to be scattered on top of the soil so the ones that barely got into the plugs are the ones that came up good. Oh well, live and learn.

Carol I will try my best to time it right and get the seedlings lifted out of the Styrofoam before their roots start clinging to it too tightly, I've torn into some of the little plugs to see if I could tell why the seeds didn't germinate and they basically just fall apart so I'll be pushing them up and out from the bottom.

Any advice at how big these should be before I attempt to plant them in their own pots?? This is a picture from this morning of the biggest one....and as you can see two pots behind him there is one just starting to emerge, one of the deep guys!
