Sorry took a while to get to your photo request. These are some seedlings that just popped up. The seed was sown in the Summer of 2004. So this is the third growing cycle and some seed are still germinating. The seedlings are a few mm across.

Hi Joe,
These were part of the seed that Phill sent out in 2004. I sowed them when they arrived at the beginning of the Summer. Watered them once and then let them dry out and bake all Summer in the corner of the greenhouse. In the Fall I made fresh smoke water and watered a couple times with that and then just kept everything wet. Alot of stuff had good germination that first year, which I attribute more to the freshness of the seed than the treatment I gave them.. I have tried the same thing with alot of Allen's seed and never get more than a few plants here or there.
Each Spring I let them dry out when the plants die back and bake them again in the Summer. A number of the pots still have new plants germinating each Fall, such as pictured above. So in some some cases it's a mix of 1, 2, and 3 year old plants in a pot. I have also gone in during the Spring and removed tubers here and there to pot seperately. This is the first year that the plants are really starting to put on some size and a nice show.
