Door number 15 has self saved pansy seeds behind it. The colours are going to be a complete surprise.
RE: Advent Seed Calendars - Veggie - 15-12-2020
Door 15 has some of the tiniest seeds I've ever seen - Cyperus papyrus - Nile grass. They were in a little plastic tube and I thought it was empty. Holding it against some white paper I spotted some tiny specks - whether there were 50 seeds as the packet says, I've no idea. Impossible to count or sow individually.
They'll have a lot of growing to do before I can make my own paper.
