A little update on my vermiculite-started seeds.

These are the begonia Dragon Wing. If you really squint, you can see a few red specks

These are the boliviensis. It's the container that I dropped. Apparently all the seeds ended up in the center Hilarious!

This is the first container of echinacea. I had pricked out a few with the enlonated stems that continued to lay on the surface. Some of the others didn't look great either

I did 2 more small containersof echs about a week or two later. On those I made sure I really stuck the seeds down well into the vermiculite.

I pricked out all of the echs today and potted them up. The best, healthiest looking ones with good true leaves had amazing root systems. The smaller, less formed ones had much less impressive roots.

I pricked out and potted up all the echs today. Some are really tiny cotyledon stage one. Hopefully, some will make it
