We are in SE Iowa - traditionally zone 4, but now considered to be zone 5a. I continue to be leery about planting anything tender prior to May 1, but I will probably be planting the remaining Nasturtium 'Spitfire' seeds, as well as the Double Cosmos 'Rose Bon Bon' seeds by the end of April.For now, check out the seeds that I began recently indoors. I created my own pots from rolled and folded newspaper. What do you think? Looks promising to me!! :-)
today... 4 out of 8
I almost forgot to mention that these eight seeds were germinated between wet pieces of paper towel, placed in a ziplocked plastic bag and in a dark kitchen cupboard for two days and nights before being planted in the little pot-lets you see here. ;-)For you readers, click on the links to visit both the other Grow project participants and the website for Renee's Garden.

I can only imagine how excited you are to be able to plant your seedlings in just a couple of weeks. I am definitely going to try the newspaper trick next year :-)
Noelle, These little seedlings will be having lots of fun this summer! :-)
I saw an article about making these pots in a magazine a little while back. I think it's a great idea. Hopefully your seedlings will do great.
Chad and Brandy, I just found your comment. I'm actually rolling these around a small juice glass. And YES my seedlings are doing great! I need to post an update, I think. :-)
