Discarding plants
3 June 2023 05:47 pm( Not a strawberry )
About half of my real strawberry plants have set fruit, albeit an average of two fruits each, and one of them is going red.

I have potted up the few struggling seedings that may be rudbeckia (they are still a fraction the size of the overwintered one -- assuming it actually is rudbeckia, as it hasn't flowered yet!), and sowed yet more chives, very thickly, along with more rocket, coriander and pak choi for a second generation. The basil is doing very nicely; I have potted up six seedlings, given away half a dozen spares, and now need to give away the remainder of the tray.
The Demon Red chilli is still only an inch tall, which means that it hasn't grown at all in the three weeks since it was repotted -- I suppose I can hope that it has been expanding its root system, but I'm far from confident of that! The dark-leaf chilli seedling (also a dwarf variety), which I have been keeping in the mini-greenhouse, is actually larger now, although it has fewer side-leaves...
