Having had fish and chips on the beach, sitting in the car killing time going to jab center in an area we don't know, hubby has his window down and guess what,a bird flew over the car managed to poo,so that it went inside the car and all down the door,! Lucky we have alcohol wipes,must have at least been a vulture by the amount of mess it made
I planted some borage seeds in cells a couple of weeks ago, two seeds to a cell with the plan to just end up with one per cell. I ended up with 100% germination and pricked out the weaker plants fairly early on. Then I decided to plant out the weak plants anyway rather than waste them. The photo below shows my original plants in the left hand four columns and the pricked out 'weaker' plants in the two on the right. I'm either a terrible judge of plant potential or the fresh compost has given them a boost.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
That happened to me with sunflowers. I don't like them so I sowed them for my husband in the hopes they'll die. I couldn't bring myself to bin the thinnings so I potted them and they're doing better than the ones I left and now I'll have to find a place for twelve plants unless the slugs get them. I might be lucky.

Now you're just being silly B3. It's a scientific fact that slugs and snails only eat the plants you want to keep.
Supermarket fruit that are nice one packet then the next packet of the same variety is too sour to enjoy. What is that about Tesco gala apple growers??
It's why my partner wants a fruit and veg plot in our rear, sloping garden. I'm being very uncooperative about it. I really like the wildlife upper half and the formal/informal ornamental lower half. Any very plot has slope and aesthetics against it. The only part I'd give up to it, because it's tucked away from the house, I still think isn't right. It's nice as it is but it's not really big enough for much cropping. So I'm being a bit obstinate about it and only seeing the problems and difficulties. We're close to an argument.
What can you do? Conflicting demands on space in the garden. I said put it in the front. That's the only flat area. It's a rectangle if lawn surrounded by borders on three sides with a path and house on the other. She says people will play silly buggers with veg grown there. Either steal it, damage it or wee all over it. In say just wash everything before eating it. What's the problem?

Just sow what you need plus a few spares just in case.
Obviously one will be weaker.
Maybe some folk have too much money?
