I am proud to say, Thanks to all of you, all 10 seeds germinated!! Such good advice you gave

 

Those look fantastic! I had no idea you could grow Geraniums from seed and they would bloom first year. I always though you had to wait until the second year for blooms. Great job

 

Deanna, Those look great. Very pretty pink, too.

 

Way to go Deanna! They are soooo pretty.

 

wow, nice! I love the time lapse photos.

 

I agree....those geraniums look great and it is interesting to see them growing. I have tried saving some plants over winter but most never made it so I just gave up and bought new ones each spring...this year seems to be a good time for growing them. thanks for sharing.

 

You have done a mahvelous job, dahling. Those geraniums are looking so good.
Will you continue with your seed planting? I wonder what you would do next.

You did good.

 

Boy you did great. I didn't know you could grow them from seed. I know lady who has Root room in her new house. Has had same plants for 15 years-shakes all dirt off and put in box.Huge plants

 

Thanks everyone! :-D

I am pretty proud of myself and plan to try it again next year. However, I am going to start a lot sooner!
I tell you, the heating pad was the magic potion!
Now that I know it is doable I'm going to look for a few special seeds. I really, really want "Mr. Wren" & "Apple blossom" and will research the tulip type

I watched a youtube video about starting hostas from seed.....

 

Oh ohhh.... Deanna has been bitten by the seed-starting bug!

 

Deanna, Where did you get seed? Or how do you collect seed from plants?

 

I would like to grow more plants from seed.A place where Maddie Mae -the cat doesn't play with dirt.Don't have many house plants because of her.

 

I bought the seeds off of ebay :-D

 

I love the pink colour of your Geraniums, very pretty.

Are you going to try to overwinter them? Would you have to bring them inside to do that?
