Planting and writing
3 April 2023 06:20 pmSowed a tray of rocket (from seed harvested last year; possibly I should have been using up the old commercial seed first, but I wanted to check that this 'worked'!) and a six-pack of Swan River daisies, four compartments blue and two pink.
There is no sign of activity from the mesembryanthemums in the bathroom, but something is putting out roots in the little pot of Roma tomatoes, now moved from the bathroom to my kitchen windowsill -- I am just not sure it is going to be a tomato, as opposed to the ubiquitous corn-marigolds! (In fact I see it has only been a week since I sowed those two pots; it feels like longer.)
I have also planted five nasturtiums (variety Alaska Mixed) -- for the record, these were *not* my saved seeds but last year's commercial ones! Though it will be interesting to see what colour the second-generation nasturtiums come out.
The Gigi story (which will require a title...) is getting rather bogged down, unfortunately, because I've got myself into a position where I am basically now stuck simply paraphrasing the penultimate scene of the story from Gaston's point of view. ( Read more... )
