We've upcycled these old Cafédirect coffee packs into seedling containers - - a great way of reusing them!
In less than 3 days time, started from seed, my roma tomato seedlings have exploded. 7-10 days germination, yeah, right!
I'm attempting to grow radishes, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, heirloom beets, and carrots from seedlings.
It's my first time trying to grow anything like this. I'm planning on transplanting these to a container garden I'll make on my deck when they are ready.
These are flower seedlings -- Kaleidoscope Four O'Clocks on the left and Limelight Four O'Clocks on the right. Both were grown from seeds purchased from Burpee.
I tossed a handful of bluebonnet seeds in my front bed, and look what turned up! I've got maybe a dozen seedlings like this scattered amongst the bulbs.
These things were slow to germinate and the germination rate wasn't very good. Also they've been slow to grow, none are much bigger than this, and they're supposed to get like 9ft tall!
a sadistic mother is the worst of all children's nightmares: my parents, who were fruitsellers, would supply me with all the watermelons i loved to eat. when i was a little girl of perhaps five or six, my mother sat beside me while i was chomping down on an especially juicy slice. she asked me if i had eaten any seeds. i warily replied yes. "oh, dear. you will grow a watermelon tree inside you!" she exclaimed. thus, over the course of the next few years i would occasionally check my nostrils and ears for any signs of peeking branches. one day when i was an older child, i went up to my mother and accused her: "you lied! there isnt any tree growing inside me at all. see, im fine!" my mother simply replied, "dont be silly. trees take many years to grow." and then i spent the next few years living in paranoia again.
of course, when i retold this story to my mates in college, they laughed. then someone said that watermelons do not grow on trees at all. and i only realized this when i was 18...
this picture tells that story of my tortured childhood, being the daughter of my mother (whom i love very much of course, but she is a wicked creature!). the little leaves on the bottom are actually leaves of the watermelon plant.

Siberian iris seedlings are from seed from Hudson seed company. They took quite a while to germinate, but the germination percentage was very good. 27 seedlings here, and I've got another 6 or so potted up around the yard.
That's 56 nicotiana babies. Hope my neighbor's still got some garden space left. I think I'm going to have to get some tractor tires from friend of freindly scrapyard owner and start filling the rest of the front yard with tractor tire raised garden beds so these plants will have a home.
There's also 22 gazainias there - growing for their seed production this year. I can't wait to have an abundance of gazainia seed. Buying packets of 20 seeds of anything is something to do once. After the first purchase I'd sure rather grow my own.
This sign on eastbound County Road F48, just as it curves southeastward toward Mount Vernon, marks where the "Seedling Mile" — the first paved mile of the Lincoln Highway in Iowa — was constructed in 1918 and 1919. A similar sign can be found for westbound traffic a mile southeast of here.
This brave seedling has sprouted in the gravel next to the hose--not a great spot for a tree, so we'll move it.
Lavatera trimestris, Althaea trimestris or malva trimestris plant growing from seed. Seedlings in mulched homegarden next to hedge. Sunlight.
