Yes! I’m seeing some of the white coneflower seeds beginning to send out roots now. I sprinkled a bunch of them on top of the soil in one of my seedling trays. I put the heating pad under that tray yesterday or the day before. It’s working. Also, I count something like 25 of the…

When branches grow with narrow crotch angles, they end up with…
