Anyone germinating seeds in wet paper towels , now/

I have hollyhocks,4O'Clocks and blue pea seeds in coffee filter-ziplock right now. Little white shoots are visible already - in 6 days!! They are in west facing window sill.

Is it possible to start very tiny seeds this way? How do you do it with Coleus?

 

Yes it is possible.
I have to pick mine up with tweezers to transplant.

I cant find my coleus seeds..
wahhhhhhhhhh

 

starting seeds

I'm in Pa and still very cold, but this year I have planted alot of seeds in soda bottles and placed outside for a new wintersowing project. I am hoping this gives me a good start on seedlings come spring!

 

I haven't forgotten about getting a picture of my colues seeds. (that I just planted) There's about 2 dozen very tiny plants. Been abit busy here, but will get those pictures soon. I used the end of a planter spike (small stake) point to move them into my potting soil.

 

Great! Will wait for the pictures,Petunia.
In fact, I learn the coffee filter technique from you last year :-D

 

here are my new seedlings started from coffee filters:


coleus seedlings ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden )


lantana ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden )


blue bonnet seedling ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden )


geranium seeds started ( photo / image / picture from petunia's Garden )

This geranium seed will be the first time I've started them from a seed. I sure hope it does good for me. It was taken from a red flower.

 

I never knew geranium had seeds ??????

Have to watch closer.

Thanks .......Looks like your ready to roll with all yours..

Good luck
