Seedlings: the half-way point

I would say mixed so far. I have…

  • lots of oregano and lots of Queen Anne’s Lace
  • cerinthe, which I am hoping will self-seed from now on (though I have gathered lots of the seed so how is that going to work?)
  • sunflowers, which are planted out and being eaten by the snails
  • some nicotiana but it seems a very long way off flowering
  • chilli – which has no flowers. I think this is because of the lack of sunshine but it is growing all ruffled and bushy but still not flowering.
  • I don’t seem to have any scabious at all; some came up but have all disappeared

On the whole, I would say

  • Be more selective about what you grow and make sure they are annuals/ going to come up this year
  • Grow fewer seedlings of more types things.
  • Be prepared to keep things in pots for longer. I’ve slightly run out of soil to pot everything on in.
