I have some of the larger Zinns that I started from seed, Oklahoma and Giant Cactus I believe... have a few seedlings that are putting out their second set of leaves. My Gaillardias have not germinated yet, I have 2 kinds. Red Plume and the standard red/yellow ones I snagged from my neighbor when the seed heads were dry.

I also have Pot Marigolds [Calendula] that have set out second set of leaves and a bunch of hybrid marigolds that were yellow. ~ It was a plant I grew from seed last year and when I moved I dug up the plant, there were 2 but one died in a cold snap ... but I took the spend seed head and sprinkled the seeds and most germinated within a few days... so I will have A LOT of yellow marigolds -- will be giving them to neighbors.

Other seeds that have germinated...
Coreopsis Early Sunrise - one of my favorite "bright" plants from up north, a bunch of Scarlet Milkweeds, the common MW have not germinated yet
and a bunch of herbs... I like to grow herbs for the Cats and butterflies. No having much luck with morning glories as the bunnies keep eating the seedlings... guess I'll live without them.

I have some plants at home still [we have not sold our IL house yet] so I'm hoping this May I can dig and pot up some of my favorites, then when I come back in Sept/Oct bring them with me.
