These seed pods from a pine tree growing in our garden have just sprouted
very tiny green lumps which we think are shoots.

Technically those are cones. And they're not from a pine tree - they
look like they're from a cypress. And I would interpret the green bits
as shoots growing from the stems to which the cones are attached.

We would like to grow them, would it be alright to put them in flower pots
now; or is it too early, and I should wait until the seeds become more
visible?

Thanks for any advice.
