Bev, do they have a badge for BBCodes?? You should "win" it if they do!!! (Lynn and I should get one for happy jumpy guy usage!)

thanks for being on my team! but they should penalize you for overuse of jumpy guy by making you learn the BB codes...
I love the guy that waves and nods but without the signs attached to their little tiny hands... Feb is almost over so got to get the heart guy out of my system...

Yesterday I was also trying to brush up my BB codes in order to put a URL below the signature line but I seem to have become rusty. Back to learning.
Regards,
Arif.

Never too Old...

Arif did you see Lynn posted info here The thread "Sempervivum BB code practice" in Sempervivum forum
Cheers

No I don't think I have but when I clicked the link, I ended up right at the end (post reply) which means I have been reading it . I hate this feeling of standing in the middle of a busy intersection totally disoriented until I look at the sun and the time to get my bearings back.

Arif.

You'll get it figured out in no time Arif!

Hello Kate, I sowed those Semp seeds last August. I started with 20 seedlings and finished with 9 still here. I really like yours too :D Where abouts in the UK are you?
I am going to sow the other 20 seeds I have left today!

Your babies have grown quite quickly then Pia. I hope mine do the same. I'm in South Wales, near Swansea. Good luck with your new seeds

I took some pics of my seedlings this morning. They are going to need to thin them out at some point, when will the roots be strong enough to think about doing that?

Can I ask after how many days of sowing the seeds was this stage reached.
Regards,
Arif.

They were sown on the 14th of Feb Arif, so they are about a month old. The first seeds germinated about a week after sowing.

Kate how cute!!! Personally I would wait to move them. I've never grown them from seed, but they don't seem to mind being piled on one another in the garden so I think they're gonna be fine, unless you want them in a different location??

I love looking at the middle picture when it's enlarged, the little fuzzy hairs on the just emerging 2nd pair of true leaves looks like a mouth with teeth, just waiting to punce lol. I hope these really are semps not Audries
No, I'm in no rush to move them, don't have anywhere for them to go at the moment, if most of these survive to semp adulthood I'm going to need a bed just for them! I'm hoping to plant them up into plugs later in the sumer to over winter. I might need to purchase a cold frame - any excuse to spend on garden goodies..... And then decide which to keep when they start doing funky things next spring

You could also use them to "fill" in your tubs! That way you could save for spending on plants rather than equipment!

Kate, it's like a whole new village to accomodate ie more mouths to feed, housing, etc

Sounds like a plan!

We cross posted Bev, but I think you might be right!
