sproutlings!

May 22, 2012 22:48

So about 3 weeks ago I decided to finally sprout those habanero seeds I got via IT(he bought a box of habaneros, I asked, and got, one for the seeds). Meaning I made holes in the bottoms of 15 disposable plastic drinking cups, filled them with potting soil, put a seed in each one, and put them in two disposable trays with some water on the living room floor by the big window. Time passed, and there was no sprouting. Then last Wednesday, when
mrlightning was coming for dinner, we arranged the living room. As at the time I already gave up on them I was going to throw the whole thing(trays and all) away, but when knelt down to lift them I got that week's happy surprise: a small sprout, already with a couple of leaves, staring me in the face. Of course I did the happy dance then and there. Now I have the other side of the problem- to date 10 have sprouted, I have only 5 midway planters, and I really don't feel right to throw away plants that already sprouted, and that I might have been able to find homes for, just because I don't have enough midway planters(of the midways, the plan is to keep one in a full 12L planter, and give the others to good homes).
