Day 8 - Coleus Rainbow Mixed - Tender perennial - houseplant,bedding or potted the leaf colours range from green-yellow to bronze & red-purple shades. It says to keep at 20-25 degrees until after germination,do not exclude light it helps germination. Ive put six modules of about fifty seeds (sow by 2015) under the grow light,the light might help them because the temperatures not that warm,this is what they look like if they grow ~

Day 9 - Aquilegia Longissima Yellow Bonnet also known as Granny’s Bonnets - Germination can take 1-3 months,to speed up put in the fridge 5 C,for three weeks,then place in the warmth (15-21 C) I might put them in a sealed bag outside for three weeks & bring them indoors for the New Year (sow by 2016) -

I have a tea tree in a pot on the veranda. Pretty little thing but no flowers so far - I bought it a couple of years ago.

For day 9, I have Bawole Serce tomato. Can’t find any English info on the variety....anyone grown them?

[veggiechicken]

"Bawole Serce" seems to be Polish for Ox heart. There are a few tomatoes with that name. Jungle Jane grows Raspberry Oxheart

Raspberry Oxheart were lovely large tomatoes I’ve got a photo here

Those look fab....fingers crossed they germinate . Your coleus also reminded me of when I was a kid, I can remember being fascinated by the rich colours in the leaves.

On the 10th my first vegetable ( that isn’t a chilli ).

^^^ Made me snigger!!

On the 10th Day, I'm going Bananas with Musa velutina aka the hairy banana or Velvet pink banana. Still sniggering.

I'm not actually sowing them yet as the instructions say that the seeds must be chipped and soaked for 24 hours.

Day 10 - Cymbopogon Citratus Lemon Grass - Frost tender perennial - sow all year round for pots indoors -
