igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
Planted up a third attempt at Demon Red chillies using the last of the saved 2022 seed, in case there was something wrong with last year's, and put it on top of my (condensing) boiler in the vain hopes that things might be a little warmer up there from time to time -- it is simply not hot enough indoors, with temperatures still sitting in the low 60s. Fine for me, but no good for germination of semi-tropical plants :(
It gets a good deal warmer *out*doors, enough to dry out the pots, but only when the sun is out... we just had a shower of sleet, from which I had to rescue the tomatoes and the washing!

I also replanted a third batch of Swan River daisies using some of the 2022 seed.

Potted up two of the kale seedlings and two of the marigolds into deeper pots, as they didn't seem to be doing much in their small seedling containers; they didn't have a lot of root on them when dug up, though.
