Seed sowing thread 2023.

[Jungle Jane]

Sowed a tray of Cosmos Millenium this afternoon.

Also sowed some tomato seeds..Cocktail Crush...havnt heard of these before.
Now that I have looked them up some info are saying they are an F1 variety.
Nothing on my packet saying that...Unwins seeds.

I haven’t heard of them either,google says they’re blight resistant that’s one sign it’s a hybrid & a sister to crimson crush,same family name. It’s odd unwin haven’t labelled them as F1 though,they have a list on their website of F1 tomato seeds so they do still label them on the packets,there’s a contact section on their website,you could question this with them,they might be able to help

Sowed some Nero di Toscana kale, and some beetroot. With the beetroot, it will be a triumph of hope over experience if they grow to an edible size, as I've never succeeded yet.

I sowed some physalis peruviana today. The seed was quite old so fingers crossed something grows.

Three rows of carrots (of three different varieties).

I sowed some physalis peruviana today. The seed was quite old so fingers crossed something grows.

I find Physalis seeds to be very short lived, so you may not have much luck. Even newly purchased packaged seeds often have very poor germination rates. Seeds I save myself from the previous autumn, however, always have near 100% germination.
