IndoorsSo far, so good! {{Knocks wood}} Though I never take any of this for granted. For so many years, my attempts at starting seeds indoors were such failures. So here’s what’s going on today: The Wild Dagga has sprouted – all four of the peat pellets. The tiniest green was seen yest...

IndoorsRepotted 3 of the 5 Borage seedlings, burying most of the stems which were quite long. I didn’t want to do this yet, because none of them have true leaves, but it was necessary. Lots of seedlings of Pimpernel and Balsam. The Pimpernel will have to be thinned before potting. Now 4 se...

I want to line my front walk with that amazing scent and that’s a lot of plants. I planted a lit...Indoors 21°C / 70°F -

Those two sprouts in the purple stary were definitely not Heliotrope. Unfortunately there has been absolutely no germination from these seeds at all.Indoors 19°C / 67°F -

IndoorsThe taller of the two sprouts in the tray was bumping the top of the done. I decided to take them both out and potted them up into a 4-cell-pack. I suspect these may not be really heliotrope, but whatever it is that has been sprouting so quickly in everything sown in this seed starting mix.

IndoorsThere are two tiny sprouts in the tray tonight, I think! I’ll check again tomorrow to make sure. UPDATE – April 7 – Yes, there are definitely 2 small sprouts in the tray. Are they really Heliotrope or are they more of those unknown “weeds” that have sprung up in othe...

IndoorsI have never tried growing these from seed before, so this will be another experiment. They are supposed to be easy to grow, as long as they have a warm enough temperature. I hope I am not starting them too early, but if I can get them started, that should only mean bigger plants when it is time ...
