Hopefully it's not shooting for the sky too soon.

Aren't they just adorable...

First seedling death - Red Amaranth

It's a sad thing to see the death of a seedling....

It's a shock on the sight of this as it was growing strongly and looked so promisingly...

Foundation is everything - Red amaranth

This seedling has been this way for a few days....

What comes to your mind seeing this?

I think it's telling me that foundation is everything in this world !

Red Amaranth, as of 14 May 2010

These babies looks like red globe amaranth which is not edible, 

I'm now anxiously worrying if this is true. 

Only time will tell.

SEEDLINGS !!!

Yeahoo , we... have... ... ... seedlings !!!!

Seedlings from Red Amaranth set B. 2 seeds, 100% germination.
These are at day 2 (3 days as I count from 0).

Bet you can't see where the seedlings are.... hee hee.. 
These are at day 3 (4 days as I count from 0).

Even at this young stage, note how it is already inheriting the red tinge signature of red amaranth !

The 5 cents coin is there for scale. The coin is ~16mm in diameter. 

It feels like a whole new world if you ask me. 

They looked marvellously full of life even though they are so minuscule.
Amazingly at this young stage, it's already so smart... note how they are slanted to one side towards the bright light direction !

Phew! What a relief, anticipations and anxieties will not have a chance to torture me anymore. 
It's now babysitting everyday to nurture them into strong young-lings and then will have to think about thinning.
