after checking my containers today the awful thought struck me that some of these sprouts might be weeds. we are in the woods and very weedy so i wouldn't doubt that stray seeds have sneaked their way into my containers. some seedlings are obviously "something" but so many others look like the weeds i see in my garden. i remember seeing a post about a good seedling id guide-- does anyone know what it is? i would be much more excited about some of these containers if i really thought they were what they were supposed to be LOL

i have sprouts in about 40 containers, maybe more. i also have almost 50 daylily crosses sprouting in the greenhouse :) i am surprised at what is sprouting and what isn't. i thought the hellebore would be up by now, especially since it sprouted under the plant already, bot not one out of 7 or 8 containers. all the dianthus has sprouted though. in many containers i have one seedling and no sign of anyone else, and others are already thick mats of green. all very interesting, like a science lab i actually want to do LOL
