Approx 3400 seeds of Phacelia Campanularis arrived today from Seekay hort Supplies. It took me ages to count them. ![Rolleyes Rolleyes](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
Seed packet states they can be sown from Jan to June or Sept to Dec. (10 months of the year)![Smile Smile](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/smile.png)
Don't know whether to direct sow or sow in modules? If i put a tiny pinch in each module and leave them in the greenhouse it may be best.? I have some plug trays but I am unsure how fast they will grow? I will probably do a 'belt and braces job (I have enough seed) to sow indoors and outdoors in stations rather than drills as advised on seed packet.![Big Grin Big Grin](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/biggrin.png)
Still awaiting the Limanthes seeds but will treat them in a similar fashion. I have grown these before and they self seed all over so it will be best if they are dug in after flowering and setting seed to get a continuous green manure crop.![Idea Idea](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/lightbulb.png)
Looking forward to this experiment in green manuring and to having a bit of colour on the plot!
