Well, you all have gotten my curiousity up so I just had to try another one. I planted my seeds this morning. I got 7 seeds in the pack and planted only 3 so I could share with my aunt if she wants to try again, too.

Mine got knocked over during all the easter festivities and i didn't see it til after everyone left.

I couldn't tell if the seeds came out or not.

But it will be fun when we finally do see them.

Weezie

Yay Weezie!

Hey, I can see a 2nd set of leaves on my sprout!! Wooooo!!

Meg

I was at Walmart yesterday and was just wandering around and all of a sudden I saw a display with them!!! They didn't have them until just the other day (according to the lady I talked to). So, yesterday I planted the little seeds......6 in my packet. I can't wait!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! It's so exciting to see how many of you were able to find these kits at their WalMarts! Mine never did get them in...
Sounds like a plan!

***Lynne,
I PM'd you!

***Sue Z,
How are your plants doing?
Did they make it thru the Easter Festivities?
Are they still growing or what???

Weezie

yea how are everyone's wonder eggs doing? mine were doing great and then boom! here came the nasty yucky ugly white fuzzy mold! oh well i guess it was my fault because i left the top part of the egg on there :-( they were getting their 2nd sets of leaves too :-( ahh well i'll try to plant some more seeds tomorrow :-)wish me luck!

so how's everybody's wonder egg plants doing? mine outside aren't really doing anything so i think i'll try to plant them again inside :-)

mine aren't doing anything, and i am on my second try. it has been a week. i'll let you know if they don't do anything next week

I lost mine. It was doing good.. getting 2nd set of leaves, or is that the 1st true set? I don't know.. anyways.. it wilted to nothing, and I don't know why. I think it was because I took it out of it's little greenhouse as was instructed. I touched it, so it died.. my deadly black thumb strikes again!

I lost 1/2 my veggies that had started too. So far, I have kept 3 of my 4 varieties of peppers, and I think that's it. The rest of the stuff I had started, all wilted. *sigh*

Meg

That's a marvelous plant - I'm going to keep my eye out for that one.

And no, that has nothing to do with the old joke . . . not polite to tell it here anyway.

But, yeah . . . I'll keep my eye out for ya' . . . hee hee!

Meg,
After you took the lid off,
may I ask what you did, or the process,
when the lid was off???

And what were the watering practices??

Weezie

well the way i did mine was i did the whole jiffy disc thing (you know where you put the discs in some water and they get bigger?)and they were already wet so i then put the wonder egg seeds in the jiffy discs,1 seed in both,and then i wet a paper towel and i put it underneath the discs. 1 sprouted in about a week and it took maybe another week for the other to sprout. then about maybe 2 or 3 weeks later i noticed a white mold looking stuff on the jiffy discs so i thought maybe it would help to just wipe it off and they would live so i did and i checked the next day and i noticed the white stuff on them again and they were dead :-( so i just threw them away and i started some outside and they aren't doing anything so far so i'm just gonna try to put more inside and pray that they'll live this time. last time i think the problem was there was too much moisture and not enough air? i left the lid on and never took it off but it only had a couple of air holes in the top part of the egg so that's what i think happened...not enough air and too much moisture. so what i'm gonna do this time is replant them in some jiffy discs and then plant the seeds in them and place a wet paper towel under them and leave the lid on until they sprout. when they sprout i will take the lid off in the day and put it back on at night. hopefully they will survive this time! fingers,toes,legs,and eyes crossed! <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

I have a sprout! I saw it just lastnight, so I took the top off of the egg. I didn't water it, because the little jiffy disc wasn't light brown, which means that it was still moist. The directions say only to water it when it starts to get dry, so maybe your's is getting too much water with the wet paper towel?? The directions say to water just a little bit by putting a bit of water in the bottom of the egg and that's it. A nice sunny window or supplemental light and that's it.....so that's what I'm doing. Here's hoping!...as I also have the thumb of death!

oh congrats!! i'm hoping that when i start over again that i may get a little luck this time! lol

My largest cat decided that my seed tray was a nice place to sleep. Nothing survived.

Oh Sachi, I'm so sorry!!

Weezie, I took the lid off, and only watered as they started to look dry. The instructions said to water when the disc got lighter in color, as that would indicate it was starting to dry out.. I may have watered a little sooner than that, but it was never left to be saturated, or dried out. It just looked good one day, and the next it was wilted to nothing.

I'm just deadly with green stuff. They never had a chance.

Meg

I have 2 seeds sprouting up too Meg....I'm sooo exxcited about it....I hope that they continue to grow okay........I can't wait until I can get them outside.....

Today a second sprout popped up next to my larger one. Its literally right next to it. Should I pullit out? Will it crowd the larger one?? I don't really want to get rid of it! Is it too small to transplant into starter soil with no fertilizer??? Yesterday I watered the little jiffy pot....that was scarey! I was afraid that it would be dead when I looked at it today...but it seems to be ok!
