My boyfriend and I brought a ton of Meyer lemons back to New York with us from California. We decided that we wanted to try growing some of the seeds in our apartment. So we bought a Jiffy starter tray and planted the seeds (after looking up how to prep the seeds). Out of 36 seeds, 21 have sprouted. This is where we're running into a problem. The first sprout is about 3in tall, and has two leaves with no sight of a second set of leaves. But my boyfriend just picked it up out of the tray and it has a root coming out of the bottom of the pellet that's probably 2in long itself. This isn't the only sprout like this, either. Is it time to transplant? Or should we wait for the second set of leaves?

Hi All, I always used shredded leaves for mulch and this is the first time I tried composting. This fall I mixed shredded leaves with horse/chicken/duck manure but I have not been mixing it thoroughly this winter, Just adding kitchen scraps and mix the top. Today I added more kitchen scraps and the pile was frozen on the outside. The core seemed ok. Should I add more manure to it or just a good mixing is enough. It was cold today and we've been having cold nights here in the northeast. Emil Beer 4U2
