OH my! It looks gorgeous! Hurray! Green Grin! nodding

Raining today but finially settled into a fine mist so at least I could go outside and get my cellpacks filled with potting mix to plant the sunflowers and mexican sunflowers I put in water to soak yesterday. Not that these seeds must be soaked but I just want them to start up faster so I soaked them. Then my Spanish Musica pole bean seeds came in the mail today so I planted them in cellpacks also. All my will be seedlings are now inside in a warm spot in the kitchen so that they germinate quickly. I have no grow light set up but once they come up I bring them outside in the sunshine during the day and back inside at night until they get big enough to transplant. Or at least until they get bigger!

Bean seeds will not even sprout if it is not always above 55 so it is always best to start them indoors this time of year. Once they are sprouted, they are fine.
