some of my lupin seedlings died unfortunetly because i bruised them :$


Always handle seedlings by the cotyledon rather than the stem. They
can survive the loss of a cotyledon much better. g


so i just planted what i had to winter sow just for the sake of it.
after a few days i realised that there was one seedling with massive
head/outer shell. it was atleast the size of my thumbs nail. can someone
tell me if this is normal ? i took the black shell off as i would with
the other 'normal' seedlings but the actuall head of the seedling is the
same size. very strange. and now its growing quite wierdly (pic 2). i
would appreciate any input on this.


Can't tell what's going on (too fuzzy), but it looks like the cotyledons
are just thick.



3rd picture.
we dug up what is going to be a pond in the near future. and because of
problems its just a big hole at the moment and there are all sorts of
wierd plants and some weeds groeing in there. there was one that cought
my eye to i took it out and planted it in the trough. can someone tell
me what it is ? did i just plant a weed ? :P


You've got a Euphorbia there, and it could well be weedy.

and lastly ive noticed some seedlings (i think) that are growing from a
trough that has a small baby cherry tree in it. would someone be able to
tell me possibly by looking at the picture what they are ?


Nope, too small, too out of focus.
