Hi Jeroen,

some great looking little ones you have growing there.

Sorry to hear you lost some seedlings as I too always hate it when that happens.
I do not think to a plain seedling has ever just died on its own here, it is always the ones that I want to watch grow up.

Happy growing and keep us posted over here,
Rod

Here are updated baby pictures. They were sown January 28. They are the ones I posted earlier in this thread. They are growing! I will transplant them this week. I think they will get to be outside all the time now...they do seem to like that best. Who would have thought! Thanks for looking, and letting me share! :D

Jeroen, I really, really like those last two. It looks like you have some nice, upstanding petioles to show of the red dots on that last one.
