Transplanting Johnny Jump Up Violets

It is difficult not to let these pictures mostly speak for themselves for this productive meeting, so let's do that...
 That closest tray has special antibacterial soil that allows for the greatest seed germination rate. One reason seeds may not germinate is bacteria in the soil. After the plants get their first true leaves (or, second set of leaves that come out of the ground), they must be transplanted into something larger so they can flourish.
 Sticks are used to poke a space in the soil so the roots aren't damaged as they slide below ground.

 Careful not to plant the seeds too thick (or do!). We now have a table and some floor space full of trays of future edible flowers, yum!
