Update on Seeds After 43 Days


Coriander First Feed

coriander leaves Watered coriander-in-a-cup last Saturday. Included a few drops of Baby Bio, a nitrogen feed. Really coming on now.










Basil out of Propagator

basil cotyledonsBasil are just coming through now after placing in propagator. Must have been too cold before. Not thrilled with results, but then we don't need many plants. At least we have now got the possibility of getting plants. Not been watered yet.





Dahlias Right Size for Transplanting

dahlia seedlingsAgain, not thrilled with results. Some seeds have not germinated. I spaced these seeds out to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) apart, so we could let them develop longer before transplanting (splitting them up and spacing them out so they have more room to develop). Will leave them a bit longer yet, as are not yet overcrowded.

Not been watered yet. Would last another week or so, but as they look a little pale, I will give them a nitrogen feed. I am going to give a light watering with Baby Bio (10.6:4.4:1.7) at 5 drops per half litre (pint). This should give them a bit more vigour, then I can later start feeding them a high potassium feed of Phostrogen to help flowering.
