The seeds of time...

Our seed germination experiment has been a wild success. Total germination ran at about 70%, which isn't bad for sunflower bird seed.

After "planting" the seeds on Monday, we were already seeing activity the next day. By Wednesday, the emerging root was clearly visible on nearly all the seeds.

Today, the plants have nearly pushed off their seed coats entirely.

Tomorrow we will probably take the opportunity of Joe's 5th Birthday party to keep the kids busy potting up the viable plants.
