More compost

igenlodeBought some more compost and potted up the last of my towel-tomatoes (six pots in total -- all that I physically have room for, and that was a bit of a squeeze). I have one surviving seedling left over, plus a runt in the same pot that never took off, and the spare Roma tomato to be given away.
Sowed the last of the pink Swan River daisy seed (packet appears to be labelled 2022?), which may or may not do anything -- probably not :-(
Surprisingly, the 'old' commercial coriander seed is very belatedly germinating, but the saved seed from last year is not -- planted up some more of that too, and some more rocket round the base of the most mature plants (having weeded the well-developed corn-marigolds and shoo-fly plants out of that pot).
Sowed the tentatively identified seed from last year's wildflower trough (I think some of the leftover buckwheat husk mixture I shook in this year has actually germinated as well, unless it was just that those flowers managed to set and shed seed into the old compost last year!) -- the mystery 'pink Linaria' and Gypsophila vaccaria and Gypsophila elegans.
What germinates out of all that rubbish around the repotted rudbeckia turns out to be yet more calendulas, demonstrating once again their bizarre capacity for smuggling their large and distinctive seeds through all human detection :p
