How many plants do you bring on after sowing? Do you sow 10% more and then pot on every one? Are you left with loads of spares, then waste water, compost and time on plants you will never be able to use?
I have tried to cut down the amount I sow and be strict on the numbers I pot on. Although I still sow more "just in case"
I dont sow the whole pack, I try to stick with a number and then I worry I wont have back ups if a plant finishes flowering and I dont have anything suitable for its space.
Saved seeds are worse, I currently have several pots jammed packed with seedlings I need to separate. I tested Garett nicotiana seeds... I just potted on a tray with approx 100.
What do you do with your extras? Do you have a plant area? Or are you mindful of the amount you sow in the first place.
