igenlodeI finally potted up the coriander (the two seedlings left over at the end got a whole tall pot to themselves, so it will be interesting to see how much better, if at all, they do!)
Having got my hands muddy I then proceeded to 'top up', or rather fill in the bottom of, one of the dwarf peas that didn't seem to have a lot of soil depth in its pot, and took the chance to give it a stick at the same time. None of the peas have really grasped onto their various sticks, which is a bit disappointing...
I sowed some more last-ditch chive seed, this time from the old commercial packet; I'm not quite sure why I'm bothering, as I don't even *like* chives all that much (though this may be influenced by the fact that I basically haven't been using them at all for the last couple of years because the plants just haven't been flourishing enough to harvest from!) I did note from the back of the packet that chives supposedly require 15–35 days to germinate -- so the ones sown on the 6th of April won't have come up yet anyway!-- and temperatures of 15-20C, which they haven't been getting either :-P
Also resowed the orange poppy, which has likewise shown no sign of life after a couple of weeks.
