I have heaps of trays underway at present and every day I am out there like a mother hen clucking around the new sprouts with delight. I too have the 'free' seeds from Burkes Backyard coming up. Still waiting on my Sage seedlings to appear, they have been in for ages! However I said the same about the Thyme seeds and suddenly after weeks they all began to sprout. dirtgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-33246137029204215112012-10-02T04:03:46.016+10:002012-10-02T04:03:46.016+10:00I agree.

If it works, I should have plenty.<br /><br />And Missy Piggy, one tip with seedlings is to use a seaweed product (eg, Seasol or Uplift Plant Starter) to help the seedlings settle in. Apply a dose (as per pack instructions) fortnightly for the first six weeks and they should get well underway.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-43621794666641676382012-10-01T18:35:49.486+10:002012-10-01T18:35:49.486+10:00I have much more luck with seeds - they "most...I have much more luck with seeds - they "mostly" seem to sprout. I'm always nervous buying seedlings - transplanting them is traumatic (for me) as I think I'm doing them so much damage! I bought a sage seedling today - as I want SAGE now, but I'm not sure I did the transplant very well.

All of your seedlings look great! And those microgreens do look v. good. ;) Wow, cannot wait to see how your scadoxus seed collecting process goes. If you need someone to test them out, please feel free to let me know. ;) Best.Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590233933252961783noreply@blogger.com
