igenlode: The pirate sloop 'Horizon' from "Treasures of the Indies" (Default)
I have one more sweet pea seedling popping up from the second batch I sowed a couple of weeks ago; fertility seems to be about one in three. I tried pre-soaking another dozen or so and putting them in a jar as I did with the dwarf peas to such successful effect. Of course if anything like all those seeds germinate I shall have far too many...

The peas are doing quite nicely, although ironically the ones that I sowed incredibly thickly are actually looking more advanced than the ones that were 'properly' spaced out. I was going to say that nothing had germinated yet out of all the seeds I sowed last week, but actually I think a Swan River daisy and a poached-egg plant have come up. Of course lots of 'weeds' are appearing, e.g. poppies, speedwell, chickweed and corn-marigolds :-)

And I think we have one chilli seedling in the original pot, although of course I can't now tell if that was from the 2024 seed I sowed at the beginning of the month or from the left-over commercial seed I added to the pot last week....
