First true leaves on the alyssum. So tiny. This is the largest one (next to my pinkie finger)
all the others are much smaller- so not moving them into larger pots yet. I'm afraid I'd damage them with handling!
Not moving up the simpson lettuce seedlings yet, either. They're my favorites, so when I found a few had sprouted late in the tray and are still fragile, I held off to let them grow up more.
Happily, my second tray of marigolds grew more- though not nearly as many as I sowed in there. I found out why. Marigold seed tends to only be viable for two years. So probably mine are just getting old. I will save anew this year.
Did you see something out of place in that tray? I had given up on the nasturtiums and impulsively sowed marigold seed right atop them. And one grew! It's looking a bit off color, probably from being set out in temps slightly too cold for it, but I will baby it now.
