From our cookery book for pumpkin tart we had four seeds to make a start (long term cooking!) One seedling rotted due to over watering while another got knocked off the shelf by a bird (just don’t ask) which leaves two left. Both doing well in the utility room.

Seeds were maybe too late…
The flower seeds that I sowed late and didn’t really know if it was a bit too late have shown that actualy I think it was a bit too late! Between the heat, lack of water, and the cats, a lot have not really made it. They all came up but the cats decided it [...]

Seeds in the Back
