Tiny Coffins Challenge: June

 Welcome back! This month's prompt is:

"the first signs of your efforts coming to fruition"

I grow morning glories every year. I've grown the same seedline for almost a decade now, collecting seeds to plant again each spring. The plants I have now are exceptionally hardy because I'm a neglectful gardener. Only the ones who can withstand regular droughts and bad soil make it to flower. I still worry though, mostly about the newly-sprouted seedlings. Will they survive frosts? Is their soil draining properly so their roots don't rot? Do they actually need fertilizer this year? It's not until about June when the vines have climbed onto the trellis and started flowering that I can be sure something won't go terribly wrong.
