It's been a couple weeks since starting some seeds and my impatience has bitten me in the butt a little. I assumed that none of the Datura were going to germinate after about 8 days so I tossed a bunch of them outside. Now I have 4 of the little buggers coming up. One that I just noticed this morning. Maybe the ones I half buried in the mulch will appear? At least I have a couple to work with and if I get a full seedpod this summer I will get plenty to work with next year.

The hibiscus outgrew the seed starter pots basically immediately so they've been moved to larger pots. I also started another round of seeds but they didn't germinate as well. Still I just wanted a couple, so having over 10 to work with and hopefully survive makes me very happy.

The ground cherries were slow to germinate so I started another set of them. Now the first ones are putting on their first set of true leave and the second set are really spindly and will more than likely flame out. Not sure what the difference was, at any rate, I am still looking super forward to growing them this summer.

I also started some flowers called Irish Poet Tassel flowers. Fast germination gives me hope and I have a feeling they will reseed themselves in my yard. Low maintenance for the win!
I of course want to start a bunch more stuff but my space is limited and really everything else only needs a 2-3 week lead up time to going outside. Spring has sprung and I am itching to plant like crazy
