I started the gourd seeds this afternoon. I clipped the "shoulders" of the seeds as several sources suggested (e.g., Ginger Summit). I planted 3 seeds per cottage cheese carton and started 2 cartons each of these varieties: Birdhouse, Mini Bottle, Snake and Long Handled Dipper.
One tray of marigolds was ready to prick out. I got through half of it and pricked out 20 plants. I hope to continue work on it tomorrow. I ran out of space for them indoors. It's windy today and will be a smidge chilly tonight, so I'll wait until tomorrow to take the plants to the screened porch. After that I should have enough space to prick out the rest of them.
I'm pretty sure some of the Nicotiana have sprouted. The low-set, fuzzy leaves look like what I see in my image searches. There is quite a clump of them at one end of their tray and a few on the opposite side. There even seems to be one stray plant in the marigold tray!
