Fingers crossed... Louise

thanks everyone, so far so good... only one set of seeds hasn't shown seedlings yet, some are still tiny but only time will tell. the best thing is yo don't even need to touch them while they are cling filmed, it keeps the moisture in

will update soon! Louise x

Did you have to put holes in the bottom of the containers? I'm planting some seeds today. Had chinese on Monday, lol

pwinkie03 · 08-02-2012, 04:51 PM

i didn't but maybe i should... you could put holes in the bottom and stand them on top of the lids

i wish mine looked like them! i planted my fast growing seeds monday, and out of 9 pots i have 2 seedlngs!. think i will have to try this idea next lol x

update.... most are looking good!!! Hibiscus is the only one that failed, some of the clover went straggly but thats because i forgot to water them :/ the rest are great, grass has been trimmed about 5 times its shooting up so fast, i just give it a snip over their dinner hehe. going to start re-potting tomorrow between 3 and 5 seedlings in plastic cups. The milk thistle is particularly robust

all the leaves are starting to take on new shapes, very exciting
