Transporting Mysterious 'Tea Mix'

This 'tea mix', as the packet read contains lemon balm, chamomile, and sage. But it seems only one seedling has really taken off which I cannot identify as any of the 3! Maybe it's a mystery mix? I can't wait to see what grows!


Anywho, it was time to transport them to a bigger home.  I used a terra-cotta bowl and filled the bottom with broken pottery bits (taken from my pottery class's damaged pieces). It's a great material to use for drainage.  

Then I added some manure and garden soil and started carefully spooning out the seedlings into their new homes.  I'd say about 75% of the seeds sprouted, but next time I won't be using these low, shallow containers. I think using a full size plastic pot is much better and less hassle when you are ready to transport.
