Planted a second batch of lettuce and of rocket, now that the first plants are large enough to begin harvesting.
( Mesembryanthemums )
There has been no sign of life from the rudbeckias (though apparently they can take 30 days to germinate!) and I put in some more of the seed/chaff mix from the bag -- I didn't bother with the two-step method when I harvested the seed-heads, so it is inevitably mostly dead black petals as opposed to trapezoid dark grey seed...
However I think we have a single nasturtium showing and possibly a towel-tomato from the second batch, and some more seed-necks are visible in the new and old chilli pots (plus one seed that fatally managed to germinate on the surface). I note that I didn't even sow the seed until April last year, which reflects what a cold spring it was!
Successfully assembled a home-grown salad of baby lettuce, rocket, pea-shoots, beetroot and turnip-tops, kale, mint, chives, spring onion and some random chickweed for lunch, although it was more of a garnish than the sort of hefty cabbage-based salads I normally make ;-)
