Suck at starting seeds?

Out of sight, out of mind and you forget about them for weeks and months? Overbearing seed parent over watering them to death?

I've discovered a solution and I've never heard anyone talk about this before:

Plant your seeds with carrot tops

You just need one, and it's as easy as it sounds. baby carrots won't generally work, you need that weird green part on the top and they usually cut those off baby carrots. Normal big carrot for best results it needs that weird brown but at the top bc that's where the leaves grow, they grow super fast and need water every few days. It's okay if you kill them bc it's easy to start over, they're literally just kitchen scraps most people throw away (the top 3/4 inch of a carrot give or take you just need Enough for the Taproot (the orange carrot part) to drink enough water so your plant can thrive).

The greens taste like parsley and carrots and if you keep it alive long enough you get carrot flowers which you can pick and press or let them live so they can produce carrot seeds, it's really a pick your own adventure bonus plant!

Plant your seeds in a pot with however many carrot tops you want to plant. I do one in the center, and I water it just as often as the plant needs me to. I can understand this by A. Seeing the plant droop, it's VERY dramatic especially as an adult. Just keep it where you can see it. Or B. Stick your finger in the soil and see if it's dry. People have their own way of gauging that, I stick my finger in then take it out and let my bare skin decide if it detects a reasonable amount of moisture for a plant to drink, if my finger is mostly/totally dry, I water, if it is a little damp or wet, LEAVE IT ALONE YOU WILL KILL EVERYTHING.

But yeah! Just keep it up and in a couple weeks your seedlings will sprout and you will see them and rejoice. We love you carrot tops!!!!!!

Sarracenia leucophylla, probably my favorite sarracenia.

The stems of two Amorphophallus borneensis seedlings, about 1.5 years old. This species has highly variable stem patterns, and these two demonstrate that well.
