Seed Update

Well there’s not much to write home about yet, I’ve been buying too many plants/bulbs to be bothered with my seeds but the few that I’ve sown seem to be doing alright.
Echinacea paradoxa:
These Echinaceas sure aren’t in any hurry to grow; only a few of them are developing their first true leaves as yet. So far I have 20 of them out of ~40 seeds.
Cucumber ‘Carmen’:
I have 5 of these from 5 seeds which is good! They’re all looking healthy and growing nicely.
I’m going to sow some more Adenium seeds today onto a paper towel as they didn’t seem to like being sown straight onto soil. I’ve also ordered some Melianthus major seeds for some reason (?!) so will give them a go when they turn up.

I grew things at work too. Maybe you'll have a greenhouse one day and you'll be able to grow lots mote stuff.

Yeah, my echinaceas seem to be taking an age....... the ones I grew last year were all killed off by the algae fly larva. This year they haven't germinated yet.....impatient....impatient....

Your seedlings look very healthy. That's great. Will you be showing more photos of them as they grow ?
