I sowed 27 of each, where there were plenty of seeds but there were only 10 or so seeds of some, so they were all sown. The ones in green have germinated. Haven't given up on the rest yet.

Sowed/scattered in random places lots of old Aquilegia, Calendula and Escholzia seeds. Thanks, Martin, for the reminder. I'm hoping to have some flowering for next year's I-Spy game.
Also sowed in modules, Lima "O del papa" beans, Lazy Housewife and Yard Long beans (aka Snake beans).

Sowed lots of old cucumber seeds (sow by 2016) - Passandra and Burpless Tasty Green (silly name!) and some not so old Dragon's Egg cucumbers, including some I saved last time I grew them.

I put yet more sweetcorn seeds to chit. This time some new seed. Most of the others I've tried to chit failed. I'm not doing anything different and I'm wondering where I've gone wrong. Maybe old seed, but it wasn't that old.
