My new toys this season and a fresh start :)

Yesterday, I finally got in a specialised store and purchased sowing trays, peat moss and lime sulphur (to use later on my roses).

A panoramic view of all my supplies:


And some other cutting edge technology :D: plastic take-away boxes, which can accommodate either 6 square pots...


... or 8 single-use coffee cups, which I shortened in half. I used a heated metal skewer make drainage holes:



Last night I prepared and filled in the soil mix and today I started my 'first wave' of seeds:
Salvia splendens
Iresine
White lagerstroemia (but I'm not sure that what I have collected is actual seed )
Asclepias curassavica
Thunbergia alata
Verbena hastata 'Pink Spires'
Phlox 'Creme Brulee'
Celosia 'Caracas'
Lisianthus 'Rosy'
Caesalpinia Gilesii The link points to a superb garden of a Bulgarian forum mate.
Cytisus battandieri

Soaked and awaiting tomorrow is a batch of purple lupins and Stipa tenuissima.
Lupin seeds will be sown in transparent egg boxes and coffee cups, because I read they didn't like pricking out. So are caesalpinias.

This is what it looks like now...


The above list is probably less than 15% of all my seeds for this season, but I will distribute the effort over time and sow some of the perennials and biennials later, or spare some seeds for next year. To my huge satisfaction, this pile of trays and boxes takes only 1/3 of the windowsill space I can freely allocate now.

 

SORRY, CAN MODERATORS PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD, AS I HAVE OBVIOUSLY POSTED IT TWICE (DUE TO SOME CONNECTION BREAKDOWN WHILE PREVIEWING).

Thank you!
