Successes

Plants springing forth.
Tomato blossoms - these are strays, sprung from the compost.

Baby tomato.  And do you see the bee fertilizing the blossom?
 
More little tomatoes.
 
And even more.  I counted around 20 little ones.

Dianthus - seed head.

Newly pregnant dianthus.
More seed heads.
More advanced stage of dianthus pregnancy.
Beautiful, soft, furry clematis seedlings - at least, I think they are seedlings.  I tried to plant them, so we shall see.
This clematis head doesn't seem to have matured as the other one did.
Clematis fuzziness - just smaller.



Mandavilla - propagated (following a helpful YouTube video) by pulling one of the runners down to the soil and burying it in a bit of soil until it took root.
