Seedlings for Winter

Autumn seedlings growing like mad

I rummaged through my seed collection and found a few packets that I had either got for free, or bought a year or 2 ago.

So I decided to plant the ones that said 'sow in autumn' and hope for the best.



Well, the best definitely happened! Now I've got trays and trays of seedlings coming up. Not entirely sure where I am going to put them all though.

I've pricked out some of them already - that is, taken them from the crowded trays and put them in their own punnets, just like you see at the garden centre. That'll be $3 each please.



The punnets in the front of the top picture are spinach and calendula and sweet peas.

The punnets in the bottom picture are wall flowers.

I've also got, still in the seed raising trays, alyssum, snap dragon, verbascum and anise hyssop. Oh, and basil. Mountains of basil. (well, I had all these free packets of seeds of basil...)

Might have a planting crisis on my hands soon then... Time to find a lot of gardening friends.

Oh, but wait! Got some more pots ready for seedlings... (run out of the proper punnets)
