Seeds - batch 2
But first, a report on batch 1:
Tomato (Russian Red) - wonderful peasant stock! All germinated, all hardy-looking, all coming along nicely
Tomato (Green Zebra) - the number that I actually wanted have germinated and have their first true leaves now which is good news
Tomato (Gardeners Delight) - as always, the cherry tomatoes are the weaklings of the bunch. They did mostly germinate, but were a bit spindly - still got a couple of more sturdy-looking ones so hopefully they will continue to thrive.
Cape Gooseberry - today the first couple of seedlings have poked their heads through, hurrah!
Parsley - the problem child of this a particular batch. Still plenty of time to resow though.
Chamomile German - fertile wee bunch, and oh so tiny
Peppermint - like the Cape Gooseberry, the first couple have just poked their heads through
Oregano - we have germination, I am shocked! Now to keep them alive.
Marigold (Mexican Mint) - three or four germinated here, will probably need to sow some more as I wanted a big group of these this year.
Now on to batch 2:
Sown today for the Mexican garden were
Chilli (Carribean Blend, hoping for some Scotch Bonnets in here)
Chilli (Ancho - as per last year)
Tomatillo (as per last year)
Epazote (hopefully they will germinate this year).
And for the ordinary garden were
Pepper (Topepo Rosso)
Basil
Bergamot
Hyssop
I have a space and a plan for a proper herb garden this year, just need to get some bricks or something to outline the segments.
