Morning Glory Grow Out Project Day 6

I joined a wonderful gardening forum, called Plant Swap, www.plantswap.net. I am hoping that being active in this forum will help this year's gardening be more productive and FUN! 

Last year's gardening was an epic fail. Medical issues, various difficulties, and no inspiration. 

So, to get things off to a happy beginning and learn some new things for inspiration, I signed up for the Morning Glory Grow Out! The hostess provided videos and tutorials for getting the seeds off to a fast start and we all shared ideas on how to grow them and keep them thriving indoors. I started about 2 months behind everyone, but am enjoying the process.

On March 28, 2014, I nicked and soaked four seeds overnight, then planted them in little peat pellets on the 29th. They sprouted and began showing their baby leaves on day 4!

Here they are at Day #6. The roots were beginning to grow out of the pellets, so I transplanted them, carefully, to larger pots and one creamer container. The cotyledon leaves are looking healthy! 
 
 
One is in a newspaper pot and the seedlings behind are Hollyhocks.
 
Here's to a more successful gardening season for all!
