Having sown seeds from the 3 varities that didn’t make it through the capillary ‘towel’ watering regime and switched the Sankey back on for germinating phase 2 - I looked at the 3 trays and thought – all that propagator space going to waste. So I’ve now sown every variety again.
The difference this time -orange plant labels, the last lot had purple. I thought when I was buying several different shades of plant label I was just indulging in a bit of garden whimsy – but the different colours work as a quick identifier for different sowing dates. I’ve also added the number of seeds sown to the label. Which maybe overkill on the data front but better that than last year when seeds with no labels led to bush varieties being planted with stakes and other cordons of confusion.
