A bit about it at https://www.theguardian.com/lifeands...mallow-spinach

Day 14

This is one of those special double windows you open on the calendar - Day 15 & Day 16 - Knautia Red Cherries sowed nine seeds in a little tray & Amaranthus Joseph’s Coat two modules of four seeds.
Photos of edelweiss one seed germinated & oregano (I’d accidentally dropped a lemongrass seed into the bag of compost I had,it must be there with the oregano,I wonder if it’s scared the oregano seeds in that module,delayed the growth I don’t know it’s a bit strange) oregano seedlings are tiny -

I'm all out of sync Seem to have lost a couple of days again.

You'll have to take the 48 types of seed I've sown in chocolate boxes tonight as my advent calendar seeds. Can't tell you what they are though. https://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gr...ml#post1683889
