So 6 days on…..

I now have lots of (can’t be bothered to count them all) Cosmos babies:

Cosmos babies

Some Rudbeckia’s are just sprouting and the basil is on its way.

 


New seed baby already!!!

I was completely shocked this morning to see that one of the cosmos seeds had germinated already. That is about 36 hours(ish):

New for 2018…

I sowed a whole batch of seeds today. Some from my garden last year, some from packets and some from friends gardens.

Round 2 Seeds Propagator 1

Just planted some more seeds where I have repotted seedlings or the seeds have not germinated yet:

Marigolds – M1 x 6 / M2 x 6 / M3 x 6 – (Only M1 x 1 germinated)

Musk Mallow – M4 x 12 – (None germinated)

Scabious – S x 6 – (2 germinated but would like more!)

 


Unknown seeds

This is just a trial to see what comes up! I have 4 lots of seeds that I could not identify so here goes:

Unknown seeds

U1 x 12 – Daisy like orange flower – not sure if they are seeds?

U2 x 12 – Maguerite (yellow) –  not sure if they are seeds?

U3 x S3 – Gailardia Fanfare or Echinacea – yellow with dark centres?

U4 x 12ish – Photo only (from Mary)


Basil

Sowed 10 basil seeds and put on the kitchen window sill in a plastic bag.

All the seeds need between 20 – 25 degrees to germinate, so they are staying in the kitchen on the windowsill. Now, fingers crossed and just wait patiently(ish)!
