I thought I was in the clear.. but I put them out today for thier daily dose of sun & breeze, and of course, it was only in the 40's. They were only out there a couple of hours when kiddo stated it was starting to rain some, & also, the wind blew the door open. Soooooo, I am thinking, gosh, I better bring them in before they blow away..

They didn't like the chilly temps. They shriveled up.

Lynne, thank you.. I may take you up on that.

Weezie, I know. They weren't even out that long today. They've been enjoying thier daily dose of fresh air & sunshine.. but there's a bit TOO MUCH COLD AIR & not enough sunshine today I guess. *sigh* So far, I brought them in earlier today, and put all my plants back under thier lamps.. and seem to be responding. The leaves are still a bit curled on the ends.. but they are standing up again.

yahooooo!!!
wonder egg seedlings have sprouted thru the dirt i've got three of them

(and 1 tomato )
i'm so excited and very happy i was able to find the kit.
i just wish my mandrake and belladonna would sprout

hi everybody! I've had 3 more sprouts since the last time I posted on this topic so I'm doing very well right now :-) so now I have 4 sprouts! on the tops of 3 of them the shells from the seeds but hopefully they'll be ok! so how are everybody else's doing?

I just planted mine today.. :rolleyes:

We got an extra Jiffy Pot too, so one egg has 3 Jiffy Pots in it and one only has two...

And I went and bought some other Jiffy Pots and put the other seeds in those, couldn't bring myself to be double planting the seeds and then having to snip one if they do sprout!!!

5~14 days to wait now..
Oh Geeeesh, the suspense is already k*llin' me...

HI ALL mine died i set them out to early and we had some cold weather and it got them.but not to worry got some seeds on the way.from a good friend on the fourm.hope all yalls make it ok.your friend in gardening.mike57

hi all!! my wonder eggs are doing TERRIFIC!! (knock on wood ) I now have 5 seedlings and this time I didn't put them in the plastic egg green house thingie :-) so hopefully that'll help with the mold and hopefully this time I won't get mold on them!! I was in my room looking for something yesterday and looked under my desk and there I found a pack of 25 jiffy pellets!! yay!!!

keep us informed on how they're doing

thanks pheonix :-) I think I'm going to keep mine in a pot outside but I'm not sure yet I guess we'll find out when it happens hope yours keep doing ok :-)

well, i have 2 sprouts that have made it a week now...

So glad to hear that everyone's seedlings are coming along nicely now!

Definitely grow them outdoors in full sun, once they are established, but be sure to acclimate them to the sun slowly first - a few hours for the first few days, with indirect sun the rest of the day. They need the full sun for the flowers to grow.

Have fun! Lynne

ok great thanks! and do I just put the entire peat pellet into the dirt or do I take the mesh from around the pellet and then plant? thanks!

I like to EVER-SO-CAREFULLY peel the mesh away from the pellet. I find that the roots can expand better when not bound by the mesh which never really seems to disintegrate. Some people say that by peeling it away you are disturbing the roots, but I haven't had that happen.

yea that's what I was thinking too...I hope I don't hurt them!! lol

so how's everybody's wonder eggs doing? mine are doing good they aren't dead yet lol

miss jamie,
i have 4 or 5 of them still in the peat/net pot. 1 of them has some true leaves developing on it so i think its time to transplant(ya think

yeap i'd say that it's time to transplant it lol but what i'd do is when transplanting it try to be careful and take the mesh plastic thingy from around it because it may smother it or strangle the plant that's a great idea to give them to people for mother's day

Got the first real set of leaves on mine today.

The other day I finally decided to pinch off the second larger plant that was growing right next to the largest one. Well, I wanted to see what would happen if I kept what I pinched off in a small container of water...maybe it would grow roots?? So, I filled a shot glass half full of water and stuck it in there. Today I looked at it....its still alive...and it looks like there are 2 tiny roots growing out of the bottom of the stem!! Cool! My first......ummm.....transplant!

well I think mine are dying :-( wonder what I'm doing wrong??

the one that I pinched off and stuck in the shot glass looks better than the one that I left to grow in the jiffy pot. It isn't shribbling up, but its not standing up straight....it looks tired! It just got it's 3rd new leaf.....it's about 2 inches tall....is it time to plant into a pot with some miracle grow, do you think????? Help!! Quick!!

mine are dead again oh well back to the drawing board for the 5th time :rolleyes:
