Growing Cedar of Lebanon from seed - help!

Image
Hi everyone! Ive got a question about growing cedar of Lebanon from seed. I was able to collect a few seeds from huge Cedar of Lebanon trees in Lebanon earlier this year and decided to plant them once I came back from my trip. Back at home, I got them to germinate and planted them in pots. They almost all started to grow perfectly to about 3-5 cm tall and the all looked healthy, the faster growing ones are already starting to grow their 2nd set of leaves/needles. However, one day I found one laying flat on the ground, that still looked perfectly fine apart from that. When I lightly pulled on it, I was able to pull it out completely, ripping it off at the bottom of the stem though. As I didn’t pull very hard I looked closer and saw that where it had ripped, it had somewhat rotted and turned dark and kinda shrunk (this rotting spot is very close to where the little stem is touching the soil and in the first little bit of the soil as well). This confused me a little, as the other seedlin...

Can I move these herbs without killing them?

Image
I planted some cilantro and basil (and a third one I can't remember) a while back, but the seeds didn't sprout. I assumed they were dead since they'd been sitting for a year or two, so I just used the soil they were in when I repotted a begonia. They sprouted anyway, and I was content to leave them where they came up. I was not expecting so much of it to actually live. Is it okay to leave them all with the begonia, or should I remove them? If I should remove them, is it possible to replant them elsewhere?The two that seemed to come up are cilantro and basil. I know both get sizeable. I don't think the third herb actually came up.And this is what was already in the pot.

Will pruning Annabelle hydrangeas reduce leggy-ness?

Image
Hi! I purchased some Annabelle hydrangeas at the beginning of the season, however they are extremely leggy (2 gallon sized). The blooms have come in and, as predicted, are so large the stems are falling and snapping, even with staking and supporting. If I sacrifice the rest of this season’s blooms and prune/pinch them back now, will this help them become fuller and thicker for next year, as opposed to remaining tall/scraggly? I don’t care for long stems, I would much rather thickness! Regardless, they look really unsightly right now as they are tall, flopped over and falling off the trellis supports. I wouldn’t mind cutting their season short this year to build a foundation.
