Rice Seedlings like the ones in this picture from Bali are cultivated in small parts of a rice field before they get shifted over by hand to the bigger fields.
In Iran, rice seedling planting have mostly been done by hand. The seedlings are ready when they reach 20 to 25 cm height and grow 4 to 5 leaves. The farmers commonly plant seedlings in the straight rows in which each seedling with two nearby seedlings makes a equilateral triangle with about 30 cm on each side.
The seedlings must be carefully planted so that their roots and the base completely inserted into the mud (which is about 3 cm depth).

About one week after germinating, the seedlings are two inches tall. They are "cryptocotylar" apparently...the two massive cotyledons remain in the soil, although they are starting to green up a bit (maybe a result of being planted so shallowly).
My first seedlings beginning to shoot forth.
I planted hollyhock, foxgloves, watermelon
and delphiniums. They should be strong and starting to flower by September.
Meet my new flower garden. Included you will hopefully eventually find wildflowers, a hummingbird/butterfly mix, chinese lanterns and my personal favorite, red carnations. Looking forward to more photo opts when they begin blooming!
Our seedlings are doing awesome. It is unbelievable to us to see the
kind of yields we get from using starter trays in doors vs. just
planting in our garden beds outside. At least a 5x improvement. Wendy
planted some herbs inside today. Thyme, rosemary, marjoram, oregano,
shiso, dill, lavender, and cilantro. We are still waiting our back
ordered block press for doing seed starts. We also have been planting
garbanzo beans from our bulk food order. They make a really pretty
plant and don't seem to have any problem growing our climate.
I am getting ready to repot my little seedlings. I made all of these little origami newspaper pots this morning. I am a little late this year in getting my seeds going but hopefully they will take off soon :) My first round of San Marzano did not germinate so I replanted them yesterday.
I try to start as many of my plants from seed as possible. It's so much more economical and the variety you can achieve is much better.
Something is getting into my seedlings at night. A few of them have been uprooted and others are cut off.

Seedlings from cross of B. grandis x B. sizemoreae I made last year, showing some interesting variation. Note the single selfed seedling mixed in.
