2020 - What I sowed today

Sowed some calendula seed as a tester  in some new (to me) Wickes compost.
I usually use Verve from B&Q but having trouble getting it these days.
Hoping this new stuff will be just as good.

Well the Wickes is a pretty good substitute.
The seed in Verve came up quicker, but the Wickes caught up about three or four days later.
Might have to stock up on a  couple.
Am I allowed to say that I don’t like peat free compost? I know it’s not very green to say that.
Tried it a few years back and thought it was rubbish. Perhaps some of you more experienced growers can convince me otherwise? Would be willing to switch to peat free if I had a recommendation.
