We started these seedlings (and more that are still in pots) in ziploc bag in the window, but they did not really do much until we transferred them to pots.
Coraline admires the progress made by the Japanese Maple seedling since it was first planted.
Since Hurricane Sandy, we've got a lot of "empty" space in our back yard that needs filling. Japanese Maples will add some color to the yard, and this variety probably won't grow big enough to threaten the house in a future storm (at least not while my Parents will be living here).
About 6 inches tall! :) I'm looking forward to putting it in soil soon. Any advice?
Note: Yes, I do know that many avocado seedlings from store bought avocado produce enormous fruit with enormous seeds and not much meat. I don't care.
Broad beans (aquadulce) in foreground, sweet peas (blue ripple and candy cane) in background. And a bit of parsley.
Ruined greenhouse at Easton
The Old Greenhouse.
Drip! The droplet slowly builds, becoming pear-shaped,
hanging as from a thread at the grey spout of the grimy tap.
Drip! Into a damp patch in the dry infertile earth
irrigating a few strands of ivy hugging the crumbling bricks:
compelling regularity, a water-clock of abandonment.
How long since old gnarled hands,
nails impregnated with potting compost and plant juices,
held galvanised cans beneath its gush,
cleaned windows, watered seedlings or vines,
sluiced down the mossy path, obscured now
by debris and trailing brambles?
Drip! Measuring the minutes since Victoria reigned over us,
when aristocratic houses gave employment to a hierarchy of local lads
under the green thumb of the Head Gardener;
when peaches, apricots and grapes were produced for gracious tables
and camellias and bougainvillias led pampered lives
within the shelter of the broken walls.
Now only the snowdrop candles light the gloomy depths,
glisten amongst the sprouting nettles
beneath last year's ochre stalks, uncut, untrodden,
and brittle bones of willowherb
await the surge of rusty growth.
Drip! Onto the parched soil and terracotta shards,
onto dead leaves, a rotting handle from a trowel
and an illegible label.
Some of the glass is whole, or almost so,
stacked in irregular piles, bright, in places,
the scored edges showing inky blue and bottle green,
the mirror sheets distorting the reflections
of the empty ceiling of iron framework.
Elsewhere, the gleam is hidden under moss and lichen,
speckled with lime-saturated water, scattered with bird-shit:
robin, summer swallows and sparrows seeking dry-earth
for feather maintenance.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Counting the days until money is found for restoration,
waiting for a time when seedlings once more will be pricked
into sweet loam and leaf-mould,
filling the old greenhouse with new life and new scents,
and the constant dripping of the tap will be stilled.
I spotted this pile of seed trays outside a shop in the main high street of St. Ives, Cornwall. I had to ly down in order to get this photo, much to the amusement of the shoppers in the small, narrow cobbled street.

I've had to invest in a treatment for Pythium (damping off) this year, possibly because of the mild damp weather. Some Penstemon and Asclepias suffered badly. I think in previous years I've sown them in mid-winter so Autumn sowing might be best avoided. It was affecting some other things too which normally do fine so i had to do something.
The treatment is called Prestop and it is itself a fungus (it comes as a yeast-like powder) that colonises the compost, out-competing the Pythium. Seedlings are still emerging and don't appear to be failing now, so fingers crossed.

There is no need to nick these seeds for faster germination when germinated this way: The seeds are on a double folded wet paper towel on a china plate and all are sealed in a 1-gal. zip lock baggie. The package is then given bottom heat from a light bulb. See the picture of the lamp. At 51 hours about 1/3 have sprouted without 'nicking' the seeds.
As the seeds sprout they are carefully planted into soil-less potting medium before the new root grows into the paper towel.

To encourage successful cocoa farming, the Ghana Government is sponsoring the growing of cocoa on a large scale and is investing in facilities to propagate the seedlings for farmers. This is their research station near Bunso, Eastern Region.

Early morning sun falling on a pine seedling standing over a bed of Dymondia Margaretae also known as Silver Carpet.
I started basil, dill, and mint on my windowsills. So far, the basil is loving it, and the mint is a little sluggish. The dill is so leggy I don't know if I'm going to get any use out of it.
