Working vs Sowing

The London garden 0 Comments

Moi, putting off my day job by sowing lots of seeds? Well, guilty I’m afraid. I couldn’t resist ‘doing’ my half-hardy flowers into some jiffy pots. They all come from Sarah Raven’s Cutting Garden. And I must say that there were very few seeds in some of the fiddly packets. I’ll have to harvest my own seeds of the following later in the year:

– Nicotiana alata Lime Green
– Salpiglossis Chocolate
– Antirrhinum F1 White

Some of the seeds were so teensy (think grains of fine sand) that I had to use tweezers to get them into their little pots. Onto the kitchen window sill and wait until the seedlings appear.
