The first of the Hollyhock seedlings have started coming up! it's only taken about 15 days and i already have a dozen little seedlings emerging from the soil. Phew! I was a bit worried about them since they were the first little ones i planted in such cold conditions. i planted roughly 48 of them so we'll see what sort of ratio i get from seed to sprouts are later on. i'm very excited about the prospects!
they were grown in little greenhouse containers i made out of egg cartons. sure i'm not the first one who's thought of that :) they seem to be working out pretty well. i simply cut the tops off them and put in some cellophane over the top, stapled in. very very easy to do. they have different types of egg cartons too: clear ones and brown paper ones. I'm sure that the paper ones you could just cut apart and stick right in the ground no fuss no muss. i would hope they didn't put some crazy chemical additive in the paper that would harm my little plants.
