Today I planted more seeds.  Some of them are repeats of batch #1.
  • Platycodon (balloon flower) var. Mariesii  - 10
  • Alysum, Aphrodite Bold Mix - dunno, seeds are very small!
  • Coleus, Wizard Mix - 10
  • Chamomile - tiny seeds!, second planting
  • Aka Shiso - 12
  • Tusli - tiny seeds, second planting
  • Dill - didn't count these either, second planting
While planting the flowers, I noticed that the seed packets said MUST HAVE SUNLIGHT TO GERMINATE.  Huh.  Since I didn't get great results with the chamomile, tulsi, or dill that were trying to sprout in the dark, I decided to put them in the sun this time, too.  

I also planted Swiss Chard (Rainbow Five Color Silverbeet) and chrysanthemum greens in the garden.  The carrots and onions still haven't sprouted.  Apparently, I was supposed to be watering them. Oops. *sheepish* 

And I have some nasturtium seeds soaking in water.  Apparently you're supposed to soak them in water overnight.  I found that out when I read the back of the seed packet this afternoon. :P  Oh well, so they'll get planted tomorrow ...

I have potatoes to plant, too.  I'm waiting until the dark of the moon, which is next weekend. 

And the batch 1 seedlings need to be transplanted.  I wanted to give the newer sprouts time to get their stuff together before I move them, but the older ones are starting to topple over under their own weight.
