Ooh! Then we could all post pictures of seeds for him to identify...
Or throw rotten eggs at him cos he got them all wrong!
My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)
Bit rubbish on germination. One was a cornflower, then I have these two.. any ideas? The shorter one looks like a weed to me - I'm sure we pull up something similar
1 does look like a cosmos - however there was no cosmos seed in the original photo.
what I tend to do is to sow mixed flower seed a pinch in modules, and see what comes up and sneak each module into gaps in the borders as and when.
However, this year, I put what I thought was a particularly fluffy cosmos in with others [flax etc] and lo and behold, I have a florence fennel. Bearing in mind I've never collected fennel from anyone's gardens [which is where I get my seed from]..I have no idea where it came from.
I would just like to say that my idea of sorting them into same seeds does not work with a packet of mixed perennial seeds. I gave up and just sprinkled. If you managed to sort yours you must have far better eyesight than me ...
