A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2007 Wondereggs seed progress (part 6)

Well I've got good news and some bad news.....all of my little post are in one of those starter kits and i marked what each plant was and i guess from the condensation, the permanent marker that was on a stick is gone.....totally gone,,,,so i have sprouts but no idea anymore as to what is what....so i will need your help in a few days

Dixie Angel....I haven't been keeping any records, so I can't say without going back and reading all the threads to tell you when I first transplanted. I started my seed on Dec 15..four days later I had sprouting going on, I'm thinking it had only been a few weeks. Later I'll go back and look through the threads and write it all down and then post it.

Penny...we'll be glad to help you figure out which is which.

Thanks....i know i will need it, it came with little sticks to add in so that you know what is what, and i used a permanent black marker.....the good news is that i have sprouts, but what they are...havent a clue??
I will post some pics later this week , so we can start guessing

I went back and searched the posts:

Started seeds Dec 15, 2006
seeds Sprouting Dec 20-22, 2006
Transplanted seedlings Jan 9, 2007
(I want to add that the seedlings were pot bound when I transplanted out of the small pot.)

Penny i hate when that happens! i do it all the time!
good news is you got sprouts!

Thank you, Comfrey! I guess I need to start potting mine up in their own little pots...

My leaves just keep getting bigger and bigger, It's amazing, They just seem to expand more over night! How big do the leaves get????

Hi everyone!
Well, I had to go out of town suddenly to assist my sister. I missed ya'll sooo much, really!

You may not see me too often on our site unfortunately. We'll see.

Wonder egg update: A friend cared for my seedlings while I was gone.

Shirley, I cannot believe you have five or six leaves, and Mark, wow, what, four or five leaves?

Comfrey- your plants are amazing. I just snapped a few pics to show everyone. I'm sort of embarrassed after hearing and seeing the others.


I took these pics on macro setting! They appear MUCH LARGER than they are.




Several "fell over" after misting but I pushed them back into soil. They seem to be doing fine. Wondering if I should water them from below now?

Stephanie Hiiiiiiiiii!!!

I still have nothing! oh well, I'm going to try yet again

Kenny I'm most proud of you Cuz you never give up........!!

Yours look great Stephanie!!!! The stems look very sturdy and since they have their first trues leaves they will start growing out of control soon....I would suggest you transplant yours sometime soon into individual containers. Angelblossom & I both found that ours were root bound when we transplanted ours. And you may find that yours will be also.

Kenny:
I'm also proud of you Kenny for not giving up...You will get them to sprout yet....Need more seed? I still have a few left I could add to your envelope, since I haven't got it mailed yet.

My seedlings look just like Stephanie's.
They are growing quite slowly this time around, but at least they are still hanging in there!

your seedlings look great stephanie im proud of ya too kenny! ya never give up! i need that bird and frog pic to post

I'm so glad everyones are progressing so nice. Mine have a few white spots on the leafs, anyone know why? here's a pic.


That's the biggest of them all. It has taken it quite a while to get there, but they are doing fine.

Still nothing....starting over too!!

Thanks but no thanks Comfrey, I still have some seeds. I think I have enough for a few more tries as well , hopefully this is the last time I have to restart them

I agree Kenny.....i hope this is the last time for me too....i may already have some sprouts but am going to clearly mark these ones so i know.
Good luck....again!!

Hang in there {Penny !! Like Lynne mine are slow growing they started out pretty good but since the transplant they have slowed down I'm thinking the cloudy days we've had here is slowing it down

proud of ya for trying again girl!!

Cancolgirl Yours looks great! and sorry I don't know what the white is some one will know and help you out on that

Cancolgirl, do you spray your plants? Maybe it's the hard water residue when the water evapourates? I'm pretty sure it isn't powdery mildew

Cancolgirl...I have no clue either about the spots, but I was thinking maybe it was water splashed on the leaf or some sort of ?bug/insect damage? I saw a ladybug crawling around on one of mine, but I don't think she can do any damage, so just left her alone.

Good Luck Penny, I hope it works this time around...Just barely cover the seed and make sure the soil is not wet, but damp. Cover with plastic or place in a plastic bag and place in the warmest place in the house. I think heat and barely covering the seed is the key.

maybe if you post it in plants pest and proublems buglady might know what the white spots are, she's pretty smart with stuff like that.

comfrey im pretty shure lady bugs are benifical bugs they should not hurt your plants if anything they will keep away alphids and such

Yes they are beneficial...at least I don't have to worry about aphids on my house plants, since there seems to be quite a few lady bugs in the house right now.

Thanks Comfrey, i will try those sugestions this weekend when i try again.
I'll keep you posted.

I just replanted mine[the four of them, one didn't make it ], but i had trouble standing them up.. they kept falling over... I think I got them OK now, though... I hope they make it!
I think I underestimated the size of the roots... I may have removed some..
