First California Poppy Seed Sprouts

Day 4:

Earlier this evening, CG was moving the planting tray from the window area (no direct light just yet) to the top of the fridge (stays warmer up on top). He noticed something. Surely it was something in the peat that just looked like a sprout. He popped the lid for a better look. Amazing. At least 6 sprouts in only 4 days. He's being careful not to add too much water, and has propped-open the lid. Once all of the seeds have sprouted, the lid will be removed.

CG will be seeding some impatiens for the shaded front door planters next.
