It feels sooo good to put on garden gloves and play with seeds and soil.. The temp is not so down as yet but i couldnt wait to sow so i took a safe risk and sowed 98 carnation plugs.. a full tray of carnations.. yippeee… i’m so in love with them!! aprt from them there are also petunia and verbena seeds in plastic cups that i’d sown in delhi to satisfy my cravings.. i’ve brought them over and the three seed-sown units present a lovely picture to my gardener’s eyes:) image1598image15991

I’ve made a list of what all i have to sow this season and it comes down to 142 varieties of flowers including the newly bought and saved seeds.. i’m waiting for temp to dip a li’l more.. this time i have the advantage of a greenhouse so i can sow a li’l early.. The list does not include as yet the numerous bulbs but i’m still in the process of saving sorting and buying bulbs.. plus they can be planted a li’l later than the seeds..

Also this year i’m growing a few varieties from both bulbs and seeds to compare… these include.. Alstroemeria

Ranuculus

Iris and a few more i cnt recall right now..

Tom i’m going to shift the tray and cups to the greenhouse and then there are two more trays to be sown with dianthus and marigold..

Sowing season has begun.. yipeeeeee!!
