Planting record

igenlodeMore planting (despite the chill): some flax, in the hopes of getting a usable crop of linseed (I got a decent number of seeds off my single random flax plant last year, presumably dropped or blown in from a bird-feeder, but not enough to eat if I wanted to save any for planting), and a dozen marigold seeds sown two to a compartment in an old biscuit-tray :-p
Corn-marigolds, corn-chamomile and calendulas I probably don't need to sow at all, although I have the saved seed, since they are popping up everywhere; very few of the poppies that are putting on adult leaves seem to be the Oriental poppies (possibly not so cold-hardy), so I might want to sow a few of those. I still need to plant Swan River daisies, cornflowers, nasturtiums, probably rudbeckias (the one that over-wintered doesn't look all that healthy), chives, probably alyssum, mesembryanthemums, rocket and basil. I do have some saved chrysanthemum seed since it seemed wasteful not to harvest it, but it is now two years old and the plants weren't a great success at the time...
