Seeds I have sown today

Blimey Strongy, you are going to have a sore dibber after potting up that lot. :eek: :D

 

I'll share the pain. :D

 

Cyperus Papyrus

seeds like dust - just hope I got them in the pot!

 

Waco- one day I'm gonna try the Cyperus Papyrus for our bog garden, fabulous plant. I have a smaller one that is quite hady but can't remember the name...

 

I only started half the packet, the other seeds half stayed in the pack or stuck to the gum on the enveplope, if I succseed (sounds like a toothless parot) I will pass them on.

 

Ooh lovely - let us know what happens.
BTW - didn't know parrots had teeth :D

 

Sown Broad beans today in seed pots with Jihn Innes compost, also into seed trays some chilli's - "Winter Warmer".

TTFN

 

Philodendron evansii - all 10 of them

Well someone has to do the quality not the quantity

 

Sown today, I hope to get some of these Perennials germinated before the bulk of the summer bedding seed sowing starts as the will not be enough room in the propagators for both of them.
Nepeta
Alcea Chaters
Eryngium Alpinum
Tithonia
Papaver Garden Gnome
Papaver Orientalis Pizzacato
Achillea Cloth of Gold
Kniphofia Flamenco
Calceolaria Sunset
Calceolaria Sunshine

 

hmmm I looked everywhere for Nepeta seeds and couldnt find them, can I ask where you got them?

 

Is this the one you mean, Kay?

Strongy probably has different sources, since he's a professional grower.

 

I now have germinated :
Nepeta 'Blue Infinity'
Agastache anisata
Achillea 'Cloth of Gold'
Antirrhinum 'Braun blanquetti' - these are tiny seedlings, hard to believe that they'll grace my containers in a few short months :eek:

 

Kaytutt, you can take cuttings of Nepeta as well as grow it from seed. My first experiance with it was when I bought a small pot of Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' three years ago in March for �£1.25. I immediatly took some cuttings from the parent and within about three or four weeks the child cuttings were big enough for me to take grandchilden cuttings from the child cuttings! Its a prolific grower.

 

Mine are bought through the trade, Kaytutt, but as you can see they are available from most Garden Centre seed suppliers.

 

Windy, my braun-blanquetti are getting quite big now! But they were very titchy for a bit.... Looking forward to planting up those pouches??

(Were your ones free with AG too? :rolleyes: :D )
