Earlier this week, I took the jiffy pellets with the white coneflower seeds and put them in a different tray that’s on the heating pad and is still covered. That did the trick, and within seven days, many of them are sending out roots now. The salvias are finally starting to grow more, so they…

All right! I’m getting a bunch of sprouts from the white coneflower seeds I sprinkled on top of the soil in one of the seedling trays. It took about a week, and I’d say about 40% have sprouted. I transferred some into other cells. I think some more of the seeds will sprout in the…
