Well I selected three of each seed and have them separated out. I am going to refer to @cornne seed picture and decide whats goes where and add water and a very small amount of nutes to begin.

Ok, I am planting 3 seeds of each in each of the 5 pods but using more Alyssum seed as they are smaller plants. ANd the 6th pod will be an all in one, I will just throw a mix of seeds in and see what happens. I can always move plants around as they grow. I can trim roots if they get too big. @cornne , if you see anything you think needs moving PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know! In the meantime this is what I have.
Harvest, Park Sponges, 2ml nutes  |

I am a thief... I stole @cornne 's idea and also planted a packet in two deck hanging containers. The sun came out and my mom got me the mix.
I filled two up (the ones I used last year) with Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix as that is what she found. I sprinkled lightly then covered lightly and watered.
I hope you do not mind @cornne

Likewise, as well as for the soil project.

I was too lazy to plant the outside ones outside, lol. Hence they're in my AG starter as you know. That way I could do it while sitting in bed watching TV, with the air conditioning on.  |

My Poppies are starting and it LOOKS like the Phlox is setting a root or at least it looks like a string coming out the end LOL

I looked outside and in both my deck containers there is green so I can only assume it is the Alyssum.
As for the Poppy, it very well can be an alyssum seed that got in there, but I thought I was careful.
Ok in order Alyssum, Poppy and Phlox. Maybe a stray seed got to the poppies? But I have no clue I guess until it grows more. Nothing in the other three yet.

Exciting! I’ll have to check mine. But I’m about 12 hours behind you guys because I planted at night, Pacific time. And btw, you wouldn’t be the first to have some stray mixed seed, lol. In fact the “mistakes” can be fun. I’m excited to see what you’ve got!

My AG Alyssum sprouted. Nothing happening in the other pods .. yet In my experience, alyssum is the "basil" of the flower garden. |

Something is happening in the Forget Me Nots although I can not tell what. You can just see the seeds and that they are not exactly how I put them in. The Phlox is growing a root. And I am beginning to think the Poppy that popped up may be a "I jumped ship" Alyssum seed LOL

My AG: Of course Alyssum is up. My Forget Me Nots have two shoots. I have one Phlox and I think another is starting. Something is growing in the Mystery pod. The Poppy still has what I assume is an Alyssum .. I do not know what the Poppies look like at this stage to know.
Outside Garden: Lots of things. I can see at least three and have no clue what they are LOL.
Pics to follow
