Seedlings Begin to Emerge

So, it's been about 5 days since sowing seeds directly in the garden bed and I am pleased to announce that all is going well. Here are some labelled pictures of what has begun to emerge.

Mammoth Sunflower Seedlings


I'm hoping to have more to report over the next few day. The seeds that I planted all had an expected germination time of 7 - 10 days. You may notice more than one seedling sticking in the same area. That is because I sowed 2 - 3 seeds in each area with the expectation that I would need to thin out the seedlings as they grow. But that won't be until they are about 2 - 3 inches tall.
