Shall be interested to see how they do.
So will I FEW, thought I might as well try a comparison?
Scattered some old seeds of Anise, Agastache anisata/Anise Hyssop and Agastache Mexicana/Mexican Giant Hyssop in bed 1A (remember these?
)
Yet more Pam’s split foxgloves. Some have got to germinate. The seeds aren’t that old!
Mangetout peas, Milan turnips, old parsnip seed (thickly) and station sowed fresh tender and true parsnip seed, mixed Kokopelli carrots.
I plan to put some sweetcorn to chit and rummage through the seed swap box for things to start off.
Sown some CFBs. Its time to stop playing with old seeds and hoping they'll germinate - I've sown some fresh seeds - Meraviglia di Venezia, Smeraldo, Supermarconi, Borlotto lamon, - all from Franchi.

I sowed twenty tagetes lemon gem and twenty daucus in 3 inch pots of John Innes seed compost and the same in neat unadulterated topsoil as a sacrificial tester.
The seeds were saved from my own plants from last year.
They were treated exactly the same.
The JI compost produced just four lemon gems and two daucus.
The topsoil produced fourteen and twelve seedlings.
Of course, there is still time for the JI to produce more, but it doesn’t look too hopeful.
Yesterday I sowed 2 rambling red stripe tomatoes.
