The end of the furry hedgehog
6 May 2026 10:08 amThe furry hedgehog wildife garden is clearly a complete failure; I don't really want to simply empty the compost back into the communal bags, since it is full of 'fairy grass' seed that may germinate in years to come, so I used the base tray to plant some more rocket. (Of course it has no drainage holes, so would be better used as a plant-saucer under one of the larger pots... however, this way the grass-seed has a chance to rot down further in a visible position.)
In the three little pots of candy-tuft, all of which are of the 'toy' size that is really too small to grow anything seriously, I sowed saved seed from love-in-a-mist, poached-egg plant, and the mutant pak choi from 2023 -- the latter mainly in order to get rid of the envelope! But it is some kind of brassica at any rate, and the seedlings can presumably be eaten.
( Corn-marigolds )
I potted up a dozen or so basil seedlings into a couple of tubs, but there are still rather a lot left...
