Potting on
29 May 2026 09:10 pm( Spring onions, basil and pak choi )
( Tomatoes, peas and strawberries )
We now have Gypsophila vaccaria, pink Linaria, cornflowers, Mesembryanthemums and flax in full bloom, along with the field and oriental poppies, and the white flowers from the 'purple mix' -- oddly enough none of the cornflowers in that mix seem to have come out the dark red colour this time round. None of the California poppies have produced white flowers this year, even though I didn't think any of the old plants had died, so I'm not sure what happened there...
( Sweet peas )
The two chillies that I kept from the pot of six are still tiny, but have put on considerable growth. I have sowed some more basil seed, from the 2025 bag this time :-)
