More seeds

[igenlode]

I was given some 'purple flower seed' (delphinium, salvia, cosmos, cornflower, scabiosa, phacella, nemophila), and emptied out the 'old' rocket box into which to plant it -- transplanting the rocket into a deeper pot, although it's mostly bolting. The new rocket is just about starting to develop.

Pricked out a few of the rudbeckias from the coconut compost tray, where I noticed that after coming through en masse in the hot weather they have been damping off in patches. However there is no shortage of them as yet...

Sowed some more sage seed, a lot more thickly this time on the assumption that it has very limited viability.

Re: Tomatoes

Yes, that is what I was thinking: harvest a few extra seeds from extra tomatoes throughout the 'season', rather than drying a whole batch out at once...

Save seeds from the first tomato to ripen seeds, mark that plant with a string or a label stuck next to it, then mark the other plants as they set seeds.
I already have a piece of wool tied around the flower-stem of my rogue white California poppy so that I can remember to segregate its seed-pods separately :-)
