I got the seeds at the Dollar Store when they marked them down to $.15 a package! I have 30 kinds of seeds thanks to my hubby, I am glad that Dwarf Alaska won't be a big plant, that way I can keep it on my desk and it won't crowd it. right now I have a newspaper on it so it has total darkness. Do I keep the newspaper on it and keep checking it then when the seedlings come up then I put them under the lamp? I have 3 seeds in a pot and they are covered with soil and I guess we will just see what happens, I never tried to grow a plant that germinates in total darkness, all the other plants I grew required light. Here is a picture of my Coleus so far. Also is a picture of my Alyssum too. 1.Coleus 2.Alyssum
