I’ve been away for a couple days and was happy to see even more seeds sprouting:
– Datura ‘Double Purple Queen’
– Pepper (Mini Sweet Orange)
Out in the Wintersowing bins, I was surprised to see numerous sprouts:
– Sunflower ‘Lemon Queen’
– Sunflower ‘Dwarf Border Mix’
– Bentley Countryside Wildflower Mixture
– Cosmos ‘Picotee’ (G2/2007)
A couple more seeds sprouted today:
– Pepper (Mini Sweet Red)
– Nasturiums
– Tree Tomato (finally, I didn’t think these would sprout)
Sprouts continue to grow, but not much new sprouts came up today… except for one Trader Joe’s Sweet Long Red Pepper 
.
Many of the seeds sown on the 23th are now sprouting…
– Tomato ‘Woodle Orange’
– Tomato ‘Hippy Zebra’
– Tomato ‘Brandywine Red’
– Tomato ‘Hawaiian Pineapple’
– Tomato ‘Copia’
– Tomato ‘San Marzano’
– Tomato ‘Vintage Wine’
– Tomato ‘Red Pear’
– Tomato ‘Red Zebra’
– Tomato ‘Speckled Red Roma’
– Cerinthe
The two Daikons (Mino Early and Sweet Glade ) are also sprouting… I think I will have to move them outdoor soon…
I was surprised to see sprouts already from the seeds I planted 2 days ago. The Alyssum ‘Easter Bonnet Deep Rose’ is already sprouting…
Daikons
I know Daikons are supposed to be planted directly in the ground and not transplanted, but I was curious if I can start it and plant it once I see a small sprout. For my experiment, I planted it two ways:
Left: I made small, but tall newspaper pots, so I can plant them directly into veggie bed once sprouted. I planted Daikon ‘Mino Early’ in these.
Right: I used Jiffy Peat Pellets with the outside netting removed. I placed them on top of about an inch layer of soil, so the roots can grow deeper. I planted Daikon ‘Sweet Glade’ in these.
Mango
I saved another Mango seed from a Mango we bought and ate… and will try growing it.
The Firecracker Begonia that I sowed on Feb. 8 finally sprouted this weekend, even though I doubted that they would. They are so tiny and there are so many of them!!!
Compare the sprouts to the tip of a pen.
The Horseradish sprout that I found on Feb. 5 has sprouted roots. I’ll plant it in soil and slowly harden it off to go outdoor.
Finally, I sowed a bunch of seeds this evening.
They include:
– Tomato ‘Brandywine Red’ (G2/2010)
– Tomato ‘Copia’ (G2/2010)

Just a few days after sowing, the Dinosaur and White Russian Kales are sprouting.
I also found some Super Sugar Snap Peas seeds as wells as Sweet Pea ‘Early Gigantea Mixed Colors’ seeds as OSH in El Cerrito.
I soaked 16 Snap Peas and 12 Sweet Peas seeds in water and will plant them out either Monday or Tuesday.
48 days after sowing… I finally see a tiny Pineapple sprout.
