It's barely been 24 hours since I planted chiles and lettuce seeds in their cells, all toasty on the mat.
I confess. I have checked the tray every few hours since planting. I mean really! What do I think is going to pop up already?!

desertwoman , breezygardener , I check them several times a day waiting to see if I am lucky enough to see early pop-ups; and yes I feel silly too but I am alone so I don't really care.

Early, late, and often.

Because I often sow old seed, I not only check them often, I repeatedly count those that have germinated. I'm currently at 10 out of 20 celery possibilities.

It pays to keep watch. The very first of the newly sown Victoria celery has sprouted. That would not have happened had it not felt encouraged by the warmth of my eyes upon it.

Seed starting mix is like quick sand - once you get close, it sucks you in.
