bouquet dill sprouted and more habanero pepper seedlings

About a month ago, I purchased and planted Ferry-Morse Bouquet dill seeds after I had planted the last of the Dukat dill seed packet from Seeds of Change.  I thought that it'd be interesting to compare the two varieties both as plants, and as a culinary herb.

Here's a slideshow of their sprouting progress so far:



Also, four more habanero seeds have germinated!



That brings the habanero seedling count to six so far, and I still have three slots that have not germinated anything.

I was so impressed and pleased with the germination success of the habanero seeds, that I decided to press my luck and try to germinate seeds from a Thai green chile pepper that dried out in the refrigerator in the same bag as the habaneros.  I harvested around 18 seeds from one pepper and planted two per slot in a germinating tray.  I was out of germinating soil, so I just used potting soil, which is denser.  Hopefully, at least a few of them will germinate and I can have a real spicy pepper assortment.
