Re-potting
16 June 2025 03:48 pmMy sorrel has been obviously badly ( pot-bound ). Under the circumstances it's quite surprising that it did thrive for so long, though sorrel is tough.
( Rudbeckias )
I also potted up the two catch-up tomatoes, one of which died as a result of transplantation (so of the original three we now have one, which is all I actually needed... inasmuch as I actually 'need' an extra tomato plant at all, since the five adult ones seem to be taking up quite a bit of room right now!)
I took out the overwintered corn-marigold, which had basically finished flowering and had had a lot of the strength sucked out of it by the blackfly, despite my best efforts. I have a couple of flowers showing up in that same pot which I think come from the 'buckwheat seed' packet of (apparently American) wildflower seed that I remember scattering in there on the offchance. One is a pink cornflower, and my ordinary blue cornflowers are all opening now as well :-)
