I haven't got green fingers...

Planting new seeds today.
Marigold, three varieties of the four o'clock flower,
tomato, spinach, basil, coriander and mint.
Whenever I am sowing new seeds,
I always wish they had the power of Jack's magic beans
so that they would shoot up overnight
and there wouldn't be the endless watering and waiting and watering
and wondering if this time they will actually grow to maturity.

Beautiful marigold macro. We planted some four o'clock seeds over 20 years ago and to this day they come back every summer!

Good luck with your seeds! I know this feeling of wanting them to shoot right up, too.

If you plant them (and you have), they WILL grow... Just be patient (which is something I am not good at being)... ha

Hugs,
Betsy
