Oh! And my Allysum is sprouting. I don't expect anymore for quite a while. Those are the only two that I sowed in Febuary.

That is awesome! Congrats! :)

Congratulations! You will have many more within the next few weeks.

Yesterday I checked my jugs. Lo and behold, I had a carpet of green Today, I checked again and I have one lone green leaf (actually a pair) in my beneficial insects flower mix.

So, things are starting here!

Hopefully more greening up will ensue...plenty to wait for! :)

BTW, It got down to around 23 degrees last night, but the chamomile babies did just fine!

Me too, I have holly hocks, sweet william and poppies sprouting. Woohoo! First sprouts for a first timer (I was beginning to think it was a bust).

Now do I have to baby sit them in cold weather?

I was not expecting it (don't know why...), but I've got sprouts too!
I just happened to look in the containers I have in bags in the backyard (southern exposure) just for the heck of it.
Here's what's got green:

Cantananche Carulea "Cupids Dart" Alba P 21-Dec 27-Mar
Borage officinalis P 21-Dec 27-Mar
Lunaria Biennis "Honesty/Money Plant" B 21-Dec 27-Mar
Pyrethrum "Painted Daisy" P 21-Dec 27-Mar
Lupine "Minarette Mix" A 21-Dec 27-Mar

I am really excited about the Borage and the Painted Daisy, because I hadn't had success with them in the past three years...4th year is a charm!
So I guess the wave in the eastern Zone 5 is beginning!

It's so rewarding when you get sprouts!
No.. don't babysit them minhus.. the sprouts are happy all snug in their jugs.
