I sow many tiny seeds and I will remember this.

I got one of those baster type thingys for small seeds - didn't work at all.

I love this idea!

Thank you!

Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.

Thank you for this idea, tiny seeds are so difficult to handle.

Thank you so much for this idea! I just bought some cardinal flower seeds to sow indoors this winter, and I had no idea they were so tiny--like dust! I didn't know how I was going to handle them. Now I do!
