It is inspiring here, isn't it? Not to hijack your thread, but on that same topic: I started some lettuce and pea seeds with a coffee filter about two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I kinda forgot about them and didn't consistently open them for fresh air, and they've all sprouted and the pea seeds have a little bit of black mold on the outside of the coffee filter.

Can I still transplant the moldy ones or should I throw them out?

more hijacking... how about sprouted seeds in your apple? Anyone ever seen that?

I planted one in a pot... since I don't own a yard right now.

Carol,

Don't you love how we all learn from one another here? Those are nice plants in your photos too.

Mia,

You can pot up the moldy ones. If you have powdered sulphur, dust them with sulphur before you plant them, or even a little cinnamon. Both are antifungals.

Moni,

I've never heard of an apple, but I've heard of rooting roses inside of a raw potato.

I do love how active and informative this forum is. I can always find an interesting topic, or just a few people being crazy, as I'm found most of us can be. :)

And, you can pot up moldy sprouts? See, I learned something new!

Also, I'm sold on cool weather greens in pots; so nice to walk a few steps out the door to gather them, rather than trekking down to the veggie beds way out back.

BTW - for potting soil, I used potting soil from last summers pots, and mixed it with some mature compost. Worked well, although now I have lots of tomato seedlings coming up...
