calendula success

Just want to share my happiness....

I already had sprouts of calendula on the area that I covered with black insect screens. However,on the area that I rake about a week ago is just plain dirt. I put the calendula seeds 1/2" deep and covered them back with soil lighthly. I felt really worried that they might not sprout. Today, I saw the cotyledons! I just made sure that every morning and afternoon, they're moisted.

However, for the cleomes, I am not seeing anything germination. :(

Anyways, I'm glad that calendulas made it! :D

i usualy don't do anything with my calendula. i sometimes dead head mine and let others just go to seed, they burts their pods and scatter the seeds to anywhere and they simply grow.. nice and easy plant. very little trouble :)
