So awesome! I just received some Lobelia seeds from @susanhumphrey333 I can't wait to get them started Jenn. Any suggestions?

#lobelia that I nearly killed last week. Being sick and trying to maintain hundreds of baby plants is not the best combo. They are acclimating outdoors in makeshift greenhouses (aka clear totes) that I cover at night. We're still low 40s in the evenings.

More #lobelia #seedlings ❤️

Wow they're really doing well!

@Mikekally they are! I almost wonder if that's a little bud starting in the middle!

Do you have them under a heat lamp or indoors? Mine are still tiny and they went down two weeks before yours!

@Mikekally directly under lights. About two inches under. And temp in room is about 70 degrees.

Ah cool, mine are in an unheated greenhouse so they're doing ok considering! I'm going with the tough love approach this year (I've been banished from the windowsills)

@Mikekally the real challenge for me is going to be acclimating my babies in six weeks. Looking forward to having a greenhouse next year. 😉

I agree with @abbeyj There doing great Little Miss Greenthumb!!!!! You should b very proud of yourself and I’m sooo happy your involving that cute little guy of yours!! Maybe he’ll influence his generation and help save the world. Good job with your son. Sorry I just forgot his name. Have a good one Jenn🤗😊💕

@abbeyj the lights sit nearly on top of them (2-3 inches away). I think that had made a difference. 💕

@terrimclaughlin he's been very helpful. I just call him "Little" on social media. Lol. You didn't forget. ❤️

#jennelamaye ok good I thought that I keep forgetting things lol Have a good one

@terrimclaughlin I'm constantly forgetting things. Pregnancy stole my brain five years ago. 😉

#lobelia #seedlings Another I am so excited to see! Didn't know if I collected seeds or chaff. #grownfromseed #collected from my plant last year

Please excuse my dry, dirty hands. But as I was sowing seeds I finally got through the chaff to photograph the miniscule #lobelia #seeds 👀 #seedid #seedidreference #tiny #reference

Lobelia seeds can be sown directly in the garden or indoors for later transplanting. These plants typically require an area with full sun but will tolerate partial shade. They also prefer moist, rich soil. Start indoors about 10 to 12 weeks prior to the last frost in your region. #sowindoors February 15th on soil

Spread the tiny seeds just on top of the soil and water thoroughly. Place them in a warm, well-lit area. Read more at Gardening Know How: Annual Lobelia Plant: How To Grow Lobelia https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/lobelia/lobelia.htm

The seedlings should pop up within a week or two, at which time you can begin thinning them out. After all danger of frost is gone and the plants are at least 2 to 3 inches tall, transplant them to the garden—spacing about 4 to 6 inches apart.

#lobelia #white Has anyone tried to collect #seeds ? 👀

I do collect seeds from the lobelia that i grow, but this isn't what mine looks like- looks more like a balloon flower
