a few days ago, the day when the sky was clear after days of continuous heavy rains (see my post here), i was giddy sowing different seeds from YATES i got from our local supermarket.
most of these seeds, i haven't had experience growing (except for zinnia and sunflower).
full of hope, i carefully placed the tiny seeds in the tray (recycled ice cream container from our kind neighbor), covered them with plastic wrap, soaked the bottom of the trays in water for a few seconds, and checked them every day to make sure the soil is moist and they get enough heat from the morning sun.
after a few sunrises, these are what i got (^_^)
my zinnias in different colors (orange, pink, purple, and green envy)
a little leggy but doing fine
trying to open their dainty leaves
getting a little bit of sunshine
a bit crowded but still happy
reaching for the sun and speaking of sun...
here's my sunflower still a little sleepy.
too bad the pansy, larkspur, dill, and impatiens haven't germinated yet.
but for now, i am delighted by this little miracle in front of me.
i am grateful for these simple joys that put a big smile on my face.

All your new starts look great. I do a little winter sowing and am always happy when I see those first ones starting.

I grow a lot from seed also on my farm. Looks good. I am following now if you'd like to follow back.

@ sunray gardens...amazing isn't it? how they start from those teeny tiny dots then become these gorgeous flowers that we love? happy gardening and thanks for stopping by!
thanks craig. i appreciate that. i believe that there's much satisfaction growing plants from seeds than buying them as seedlings, and much cheaper too. it would be my pleasure to follow you. again, thanks and have a great day!
