Tracy's Seed Sowing Diary

Cucumber and beans

 

Now i am more excited to try to grow the cucamelon

 

Me either, Zigs! On the bright side, the novelty soon wears off

 

That's another one that is fun the first year but then you ask yourself 'how many small, tough green marbles can I use?'

 

If you PM me your address, @Tracy_x, I'll send you a plant. Mine's got embarrassingly big in the polytunnel and needs splitting.....

 

Hi FC, I tried to like them, pickled hundreds, but on balance, give me a baby cucumber anyday! Errr...can I say that?? Political correctness and all that jazz

 

It seems to be all veg's here are flowers welcome too?

 

Of course

I also sowed some aster cornflower Livingstone daisy

 

Never try that but it looks so cute

 

Thanks very much, let's wait to see how the seeds go, then decide it

 

Pacific Coast Iris seedlings. The seeds had been stratifying outside in pots since early November and they started to show themselves about three weeks ago so I moved them into my cold greenhouse. They will remain there until they are potted on and the outside temperatures rise enough to move them outside.

They won't necessarily produce flowers true to the parent plant but it will be interesting to see what develops.

 

Hi Sheal,

I hope you're going to take these with you when you move.

 

I don't even want to think about the logistics of the move at the moment Anthony. Husband and I are starting to look for a new car but I'm beginning to think we'd be better off with a van! What remains of the house contents here will go into storage until we settle, but I can't do that with the plants. I'll have to cross the bridges as I come to them.
