A sowing machine
Just have to list these. I don’t think I have ever sowed so many seeds in one afternoon before. I knew I had to get the allium purple sensation bulbs into the ground – any sort of ground – as they were starting to sprout. I couldn’t get to the garden as there is no logical place to put them yet. So they have gone into pots instead.
The stipa packets have only 25 teensy seeds each. More like dust than seeds, so it didn’t feel like a feast of possibilities there, but I have planted them in their seed trays and will hope for the best. If all else fails I will have to buy pots of them already growing lustily.
I had to come back to the house and look up the book on dahlia plantings. The corms (is that right?) or bulbs look rather odd and baffling. Hopefully I have planted them the right way up. We shall see.
I have run out of labels so have to take risks with the labelling for a few days. Fingers crossed I don’t plant nicotiana in the cabbage bed.
