The ones I sowed last weekend have sprouted!
Even tomatoe seeds sowed on Monday! All under lights in the basement.
It is always a big thrill to see the first sprouts!
And now it is Boo Hoo no petunia sprouts!???
They have died on me so I am starting over with petunias.

My only shelf with lights is in my bedroom. I don't have them on a timer, so they are the first thing I see in the morning when I turn the lights on, and the last thing at night when I turn the lights off.
And in-between, when I overwater them or play with their humidity tents.
I'm excited, too. I have 9 flats all sprouted, with a very few exceptions. I'm hoping I don't have to pot anything up too soon....our spring weather here is abysmal.
I started some too early again, and I have plants instead of sprouts!! My Agastache Apache Sun has flowers and I'm having a hard time finding room for everything that needs to go into larger pots.
I feel your pain, Teri. I have done that too many times. My mother is in northern MI and she started cucumbers about a month ago. What was she thinking?
I'm resorting to put them in the unheated sun room and leave 2 of those electric oil heated radiators on now and then. I'll be able to put my purple, lavender and blue shades of petunias with a center of Aster Liliput Blue Moon in the center. The metal table out there can hold lots of large pots.
I just seeded a small tray of petunias late Saturday. It's awfully late. I usually wintersow them, but it's so cold this year, I gave up and seeded a tray under lights. It's late and weather is still cold. They should begin to flower around August.
