Looks like two seeds are germinating!

Good germination rate now. First leaves are showing.

Fertilized using 3 drops of Shultz liquid plant food in a quart of water. Germination continues - all still in the butter dish. 12 plants are showing so far - heart shaped leaves - miniatures of the adult plants. Bottom watered.

Everything, germinated or not, was moved outside this morning for hardening off. Back inside at night.

Once again, moved everything outside during the day and back in at night.
