Flo: You've got petunias now. I would say a bumper crop.

Looks like you wanted to make darn sure you got some with all those seedlings! LOL. That seems to be the trick to getting things to sprout. You plant way too many and that will surely make them all germinate.
I had one that re-seeded from last year. I used to have trouble getting them to bloom also.
We have a nursery here and as soon as you walk out to the greenhouse you are greeted with their perfume. They sure smell nice.

Wow! They look great!

So how did you do it?

I just put some seed starting medium into one of those plastic try thingies, spread the seeds over the top and stuck it into my cheap little Big Lots greenhouse outside :)

Ah! Clever you. And you didn't cover the seeds with dirt. I am never sure which ones need a covering, so I just go by the size and don't cover the tiny ones which those petunias are. Sometimes it works, sometimes not! But yours are splendid!

thanks, they are growing like mad and I think I need to divide them again so they have room to grow and finally bloom :)
