Today, more sprouting is going on:

• Salvia nemorosa: clearly beginning to sprout.
• Salvia transylvanica: hard to tell (I need either my reading glasses or to take my contacts out!).
• Cosmos: many sprouts now.
• Echinacea: don’t see any new sprouts; they’ve slowed down, and I think it’s because I turned down the heat. I turned it back up to high today.
• Coreopsis: Nothing yet, but of all the ones I’m germinating, these are the ones that need the longest time.
• Eschscholzia (CA Poppy): I think some tiny sprouts are occurring, but I need those reading glasses. :-)

I think turning the heating pad down to low and then medium was too cool. I turned it back to high.

Also, now I can see why Coreopsis is called “Tickseed” — these seeds do look like little, flat ticks. Yuck!
