You can also place some of the black bird netting over the pot. The stakes will hold the netting up away from the plants. : )

Great, thanks, Lynn! Anything for the babies!

That is what finally fixed the problem for me.

I will get some tomorrow!

Let me know if that takes care of the problem. : )

This is a little seedling from a sowing last June. It's about the size of a quarter or more.

What a great close up Janice. And it has two rosettes.

They all look alike, so may turn out to be one variety, although the seed envelope said a variety.

Here it is today May 24,2012


(I put the little fence in to keep the birds from pecking and it worked.)

Looking good!

I suspect we'll see more color variation once they go through a winter.

I never planted my packet of semp seeds and probably won't at this point.

Janice those are amazing. I can't believe how much they have grown.
I'm with Tabby, I think you will begin to see differences once they have gone through some seasonal changes. Will be so much fun to see what happens with them.

I am finding little seedlings all over my beds. When they get a little larger I will remove them into nursery flats with tags showing what plants they were by.

Try giving them more sun as well. Might help bring out the color.

Thanks!

I separated the different varieties that were all clumped together. We'll see how they like that.

I am sure they won't miss a beat, as some little ones were overturned by a pecking bird and I replanted them just fine.

They are tough little guys.

here they are today

Wow, Janice I can already see some differences in them. Some are even starting to show hints of color.

Wow! They really took off! Looking good

[...wow, I'm very excited to see everybody's babies being so healthy and doing so well! Mine are much smaller, but getting bigger everyday! I quickly took a picture to show you the progress!]

Janice Those look awesome!!! Can't wait for mine to get there!

Looking great Pia!! On their way to Semphood.

Thanks Michelle. Yours are doing so well !

Aren't semp seeds fun?

Where do you buy them from? I think I would feel better about experimenting with seeds, instead of killing plants that someone so kindly shares with me.
