My seedlings do get watered every day (except for last week when I was away and the sister who was supposed to take care of them didn't believe I really meant every day...) but they are in a very porous, sandy mix so they may dry out too quickly.

While the older ones are all outdoors, the seedlings are all under lights indoors. The larger seedlings are all plain green, although they do show quite a bit of variety in leaf size, arrangement etc. Since many of the smaller ones, in the same situation, are showing quite a bit of color, I'm guessing the greens are truly just green, although who knows what sunshine next year may bring out. I can only wait and see!

I'm sure Kevin would have thrown away most of my green seedlings by now -- but since they are my first home-grown semps, I'll hold on to them, probably until next spring I have a new batch starting! I doubt I'm going to have much in the way of my own seed -- so next I have to find out where I can get semp seed from another source!

Now I'm done for the night.
