2022 - What I sowed today

Last chance saloon for old courgettes today:-
Black Beauty (packed 2014) - 8 seeds sown
Mikinos (sow by 2017) - 8 seeds
Tristan (sow by 2016) - 8 seeds
Defender (sow by 2016) - 10 seeds
Alfresco (packed 2013) - 8 seeds
Astia (sow by 2018) - 6 seeds

Most packets had 8-10 seeds so I've sown the lot.  With my luck, I'll have 48 courgette plants looking for homes...........or I may have none.

There are stirrings in the  compost............green shoots are appearing - Defender and Mikinos so far. I may have  48 plants after all.

Astia, Defender & Mikinos have germinated - 11 little babies so far.  I've added sow by dates and seeds in packet sown out of interest. All seeds deserve a chance.

20 babies have arrived now. Alfresco (2013) & Black Beauty (2014) are non-starters. Maybe they really were too old!
