igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)


The red clover that overwintered in the 'wildflower trough' has grown to enormous size (pretty much crowding out everything else) and is flowering mightily.

At *last* we have an honesty seedling showing, out of the nine or so seeds I sowed in several batches. (And I only want the one... although I have split up the two Roma tomato seedlings, mainly in order to give the full-size one more room to develop; I shall try to give the other away at some point, though it's a waste of the compost and relatively large pot -- I generally try to give things away at paper-bag-pot stage!)

I note that the Argyranthemum apparently shed its seed all over the other pots last summer, which means I probably *do* have it in the ecosystem still -- I'll just never know unless one or more of the putative corn-marigolds survives to adulthood and flowers, and obviously for practical reasons the vast majority of them have to be weeded out :( (And if I didn't, they wouldn't flower or seed anyway, due to being too crowded.)

I have flower-buds on the original single towel-tomato that germinated back in March -- though I do hope it is going to grow a bit larger than that!
