I finally got down to sowing the seeds of two plants which I’ve wanted to grow for some time: the St. John’s Wort, and plains coreopsis.
Both plants’ seeds sprout rather readily and easily. However, the St. John’s Wort seems to grow much more slowly, even though both seeds were sown at the same time.
I hope that I’m able to grow both to flowering stages. It’d be awesome to see the flowers cheering up my garden, be able to use the St. John’s Wort flowers for my drinks, and to have the satisfaction of knowing I’m able to grow both plants well.

Your coreopsis seedlings look like my young pakchoi plants! BTW, what’s the yellow/white stuff around the seedlings?

The yellow/white bits are stained perlite from another pot. LOL. I got lazy and just dumped them into the plains coreopsis pot. 😛
And hee hee. Cannot eat these hor. XD

Good luck! I have several varieties of coreopsis but not plains coreopsis. I have not tried St. John’s Wort…can’t wait to see how your plants do.

Thank you, Sage Butterfly! I live in an apartment so I can’t grow too many plants which need lots of sunlight. Am trying these two plants out first to see how they do for now…
