Sprouts and Seedlings 2008! Any pics to share?!

Critter, I have seedlings in my swamp milkweed WS container! See, I just needed to be patient. Then again, I DID just cut the tops off this week, so there's always that chance that something else sneaked in there, but I prefer to believe it is my butterfly-feeding plant!

Wooo-hooo! So almost everything I WS sprouted!

Yea! Finally I have WS pics to show. This is the very first one,True lavender, and it was the first one I put out back in Jan. I am risking planting it today in the herb garden,but I could not help myself☺

Here they are in the ground. now I am about to go back outside and plant the two kinds of Dill from the WS seed swap. I am so thankful to everyone here for sharing the seeds and how to do such rewarding seed planting. What Fun!

Oops! Wrong pic above. Here's the one that shows them better.

nice plants posyblossom in all your pic.

On the last picture it looks like you have a wooden table frame or chair around them, and right in the middle of the three plants it looks like a sweet potatoe sticking out of the ground, what is that ? Looks like you got some nice soil too ^_^

enjoy planting your WS , good job!!!!

Good looking seedlings and dirt too, Lu!

Thank You! Thank You! How exciting this is, especially as the wonderful soil is my very own compost. My Woodchuck Garden Book recommended having many small piles of passive compost near and handy to where planting. I even planted herbs around the one compost pile so the compost pile would look nice too☺

The wood frame is an old frame from an old foot stool that I tore the stuffing out of and flipped over,filled the wood frame with soil and used as a planter. Linda,that little 'sweet potatoe" looking thingy is the shell from a dead Japanese Trapdoor Snail that I could not part with☺

I was gonna say that i thought i saw a snail in that photo. my son had one once. his name was Gary [as in Spongebob's gary]

Here is a pic of one of 10 compost piles I have and this is the one I used to plant the True Lavender☺

LOL tcs. I will name my biggest trapdoor Gary2, after your sons'. That is the only one I can distinguish from the Gazillions living in the 1000 gallon pond with the fish☺

I like the idea of small piles of passive compost, looks good , handy and blends in and looks very natural. Cool on the recycled ottoman, and lol on the sweet tater/ snail. I need to get some eye specks ^_^
