Apparently none of us done anything to confess since then
Until yesterday, when I went to the GC to buy a pot of primroses and mini daffs to take to Ma today ....... somehow I came home with three Honka dahlia tubers as well
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Go on, I'll confess to a silly mistake. I have sown 4 varieties of tomatoes, 3 different bell peppers and some aubergines in coir cells in my heated propagator which is on the windowsill, but overhangs it a little. The rows are labelled, but impossible to label the individual coir modules. I have been lovingly tending, nurturing and watering them, even speaking softly to them, and they are all behaving themselves beautifully and germinating. But the other day, the propagator tipped up. I caught it (used to play netball!) but not before lots of the coir modules fell to the floor. Now, I don't know what varieties the seedlings are and, in some cases, whether they are toms, peps or aubergines. Ah well, after a short tantrum, I thought, 'that's a mistake I won't make again'. Had to wash my mouth out with soap though!
Yes, it will be a nice surprise to see what each plant produces. Problem is, I have sown masses and can't keep them all, so may end up with a glut of peppers and no tomatoes!
Similar confession here too - although less athletic and more self inflicted
I used a nice new pen to write the labels for my seven seed trays a few weeks ago. However it was not permanent and all the writing turned into watery blobs that then ran to the bottom of each label in a puddle. So I am now playing guess the seedling Biggest problem will be two different sorts of rudbeckia - no hope of working out which is which til late July ......there goes my colour co-ordination for this year

Live and never learn dove
Another one here with horizontal Sprouting Broccoli. Should have tied them in and not just stuck canes amongst them

These dahlias will be grown in some of my many big tomato pots - it's a plan to stop be growing 30+ tomato plants as I did last year
They'll provide me with cut flowers for the house

You'll find out which are the peppers and aubergines when they don't have tomatoes on them

Tomato leaves will soon be recognisable - it's the other two that you may get confused to start with
