Sowing plan

Hiya FC.

If it were me, I wouldn't bother with the direct sowings in Feb, a bit early I reckon unless you plan to cover them? At best I think the germination would be sporadic. I fully understand your eagerness to get things going, indeed I'm very much the same, but I've learned to resist

Cheers...Freddy

 

Sorry FC, I'm struggling to read it, as the prints so small. Time to visit my optician I think for updated lenses.

 

I suggest you take a pinch between thumb and index finger, and then rubbing the fingers together should "release" the seeds. I work North-South in "rows" across the seed tray, and then repeat cross-ways East-West, so to speak.

Suggest you do one/several trial runs on a piece of paper first to get the hang of it (preferably a piece of coloured paper contrasting the colour of the seed [or sand if you do John's mix]), once you've done it a few times its a bit like riding a bicycle

 

Just counted mine ... 204 :(

My count was excluding vegetable seeds :( :(

Mind you ... I'm not growing any veg different to previous years, so that should be "routine". Well ... I am trying one new veg ... in the Autumn I give a pot of chillie peppers, laden with fruit, to a number of friends. This year I though I would grow Penis Pepper for them, as a laugh

 

Ooo, sounds painful

 

Wow, I'm impressed at the organisation!!!
