Yesterday I started the first wave of seeds for the new year .. here's the list:

Bird of Paradise - Caesalpinia pulcherrima
Chilean Bell Flower - Lapageria rosea
Cigar Flower - Cuphea lanceolata
Corydalis - Corydalis taliensis
Dutchman's Pipe - Gigantia - Aristolochia gigantea
Geranium - Pink Lace - Geranium
Heuchera 'Emperor's Cloak' - Heuchera
Hibiscus - Yellow Mallow - Pavonia praemorsa - Germinated 1-25-13
Jovellana - Jovellana punctata
Milkweed - Blue - Southern Star - Tweedia coerulea
Mimulus Mimulus luteus tigrinus grandiflorus - Germinated 1-25-13
Oxalis - Blue - Shamrock Pea - Parochetus communis - Germinated 1-28-13
Sea Onion - Bowiea volubilis
Shag Spine Pea Shrub - Caragana jubata - Germinated 1-28-13
Star Vine - Schisandra glabra
Sweet Pea - Blue - 'Azureus' - Lathyrus sativus - Germinated 1-25-13 - Green showing 1-28-13

I'm trying something new this year .. in the past I used cell packs which were a pain because of irregular germination - I'd have to be digging out individual seedling to transplant into a pot .. This year I'm using plastic bathroom cups. I'm hoping that I can avoid having to do 2 transplants.

I can fit 15 cups on my tray and as each cup germinates and gets true leaves I can just move the cup out to the greenhouse and stick in a new cup with new seeds. Hopefully I can keep the seedlings in these cups til they are ready to be planted in their final home.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
