Q: When should I separate my seedlings?"
A: From this photo, maybe a month ago! If you keep them overly crowded like this, they'll eventually kill each other off and only the biggest, baddest will survive. Either that or they'll all succumb to disease from a stressful grow environment.
Bratz Yasmin found a dolly-sized mangrove seedling on the beach and is wondering if she can get it to grow.

I was given the seeds by Hewlertt Packard at a computer show and decided I would try and grow them as my "carbon offsetting" plan. About 8 seeds were planted and so far 4 have sprouted.
Volunteer seedlings that I collected from my yard. The large majority are Tillandsia aeranthos. This July I plan on selecting the seedlings for drought tolerance.
Year 2, after a couple of months break. Here is a Nasturtium seedling. I sowed 2 to the pot, and the other sprouted 2 weeks before this one did, and its already a couple of inches taller. I wonder if they'll catch up
Pomegranates seedlings, from seeds sown at the end of November. The tall one at the back is an orange.
I keep the sprouted seedlings 2" from the full spectrum florescent lights and the lights are on at least 16 hours a day. This helps to keep them from getting long and leggy and weak, like they do when they are grown in a window. A window is usually a bad place to try to grow seedlings.
The back of the shop lights provides the right amount of heat and replaces heat mats. I leave some of them on for 24 hours a day for heating purposes.
I have just begun to fill up the 5 shelves on this unit. I have 4 of these units, this gives me 20 shelves for seedlings. As the days progress the seedlings will be potted up into 6-paks and those placed in trays so the watering is easier - and not so messy.
When the shelves are filled I will move the plants into nursery flats into the greenhouse, at the last possible moment, (because of the cost of heating it). Then I will start more seeds.

We here have to plant seeds early and begin the growing season in February and March with pots on sills. To get a ripe tomato or blooming asters one have to prepare seedlings. Some people re-use yogurt cups, others (like me) hummus plastic pots, my granddad washed and dried milk tetra packs. Most of us in Russia prefer to give a second life to package not buying ready solutions. In this case a lady from planted seedlings into a gift bags and left it outside for acclimatization!

Gabriel Monreal, 11, carries a bucket of bitterbrush seedlings to his mother, Gabriela, and fellow Squaw Valley Ranch volunteer, Melissa Fuller. The Squaw Valley Ranch provided seven volunteers to help plant 3,000 sagebrush and bitterbrush seedlings on the Willow Creek fire area. In all, 38 people volunteered to assist in the rehabilitation of this crucial sage-grouse and mule deer habitat.
A few of these 8-somes were then planted later today; the little beeps in the front middle are tomato seedlings, taking their sweet time. Yes, we're going to grow those potato eyes this year!
Everything is moving along very slowly except the bean seedlings. We started all of these in the window in ziploc bags around the same time (May 10th).
We are keeping these in pots for now so we can keep an eye on them and protect them from "varmint." I've been bringing them into the garage most nights.
