April 3rd

I hae more than I have pots to put them in. I love them and I love how ordered and official they look. (They’re actually even bigger than this now – this was 1-2 weeks ago).

March

Last year, I planted these and I struggled a bit. They all germinated but came up really thickly. I didn’t pot them on properly and most of them died, then I did exactly the same thing again – and only ended up with a few good ones. None in my garden, though the ones at the Red Cross were lovely.

This year, I have been strict about pricking on and potting out. They are such tiny seeds, you still can’t get them thinly sown, but I ruthlessly moved them. I did it when they were quite dry so it was easy to separate them without everything getting sticky.

I did this on the 20th Feb – a week ago! I put half in pots in the greenhouse, and left some of them under the growlite, which are doing very well. The ones in the greenhouse are still alive!

Hopefully they will look like this…
