Okay everyone...I'm sooo excited that I actually GREW something!! I put the rest of the nasturtium seeds I had left over from the hanging basket in a 12" X 10" deep container. There are 8 total.  They are so cute !! I don't want to take any out !! But if I have to I will. What would happen if I just left them in there? They do kind of look crowded in there !! This may sound silly to some...I checked on the growth of the seeds several times a day! For the first week I would just stare at the potting soil hoping to see SOMETHING. I even got down on my hands and knees inches away from the pot. Sounds like something a child would do...right? Well, I am 32 and a mother of a 3 yr. old and 17 month old..

The nasturtiums are living on my front porch but I had to bring them into the kitchen to take a picture ( it's night here)

So if anyone has any comments on the tight space in the container I would apprecitate it. Also, If there are any Western Washington people here.....advice would be much appreciated. I am NEW to gardening and have sooo many questions. Advice from anyone about anything would be great !!!!
