| I love seeing the sprouts, so lets see them. I will take some more pics tomorrow also.
So many things have germinated for me, so many tulips have sprouted hyacinths up and butter cups, the neighbors oak has 3/4 lost all of its leaves while mine has only lost half but it is still a start. Plenty of robins looking for materials to build their nest. The winter berries are getting plump and about to drop. Awww spring is almost here, so lets see your sprouts if you have some to show!! Here is just one for me right now but if you look close enough and some you may not be able to see I should have around 13 different ones that have sprouted. Virginia Stock, Dill, Mexican Tea, Soap Wort, Stevia, Creeping Thyme, bronze fennel, Verbena bonariensis, rue, big flower self heal, lemon balm, lemon mint, marojam. This really wasn't that great of a picture I will try to open this thing up for a few days clear up the green and take another shot later on.

| Here too jodie74--almost like someone left the tap running. I'm trying to force my brain to think of it as much-needed moisture after the terrible drought we had last year. Don't ask me if that's working! We'll get there! |

| I went outside today after hearing Trudi's wonderful interview and I had to check on my babies, and it is cold out there!! Well as of today I have 60 different plants that have germinated, of course I do not plan to show all the pictures of each container, just a few. So here they are!! Very proud to see this one lycium chinense (goji berry)
Another one I am very tickled about Alpine strawberry!!
White turtlehead
Jacobs ladder
Here is the wild chicory on the left of that is the fireweed above that is spiderwort.
Yellow scabiosa
Update on the precious lupinus perrenis, this container was found knocked over today so I had to replant these little guys.
Indian Paintbrush
Ha, can you tell which container this is, lol. Cardinal flower.
And here is the update on my lasagna pan!!
Ok here is one I got to show have you ever had this happen?? Weirdest part this is the only germination in this container. Red native columbine. |

| I just bought a bunch of lasagna pans at BJ's, they turned out to be less than a dollar for both the pan and the lid. Sproutless here as of now, maybe they're hiding underneath all that snow :) Glad to see y'all's sprouts! |
|
| Awww, everybody's wittle baby sprouts are so cute!! However, there ain't "nothing sprouting but snow" here too. :( |

| Carolyn, that is how I realized the Mustard Seeds have sprouted. They were clung to the side of the container. I pushed them up. Happy Sprouts! |

| That is what I am going to have to do. I hate disturbing the rest of the soil because not one other seed in this container has germinated. |

Convolvulus, Blue Enchantment
Lupine, probably russel's hybrid mix

| How cute!! I LOVE looking at sprouts. I love all the containers too! My first year my funniest container was a plastic margarita mix container. It had dill gowing in it. It was so cute!! When I used 2 litters I had several with sprouts under the soil on the edge of the container. They looked so healthy too. I over sowed so that was prob the reason they grew on the sides. I think it does happen but I always left the sprouts there. A few even survived. |
