dave On July 18, 2023 Seeds sown
dave On April 4, 2023 Transplanted
Misable plants. I put them in the raised bed outside this afternoon. In the 4" pot the soil just fell away leaving the original shape of the plug that I had put in there. Really mystified by this one. Hopefully they find the courage to grow in their new location.
dave On March 10, 2023 Potted up
Put the 6 plants into 4" pots. They don't look as great as I wish they did.
dave On February 26, 2023 Seeds germinated
I have 6 healthy seedlings. They germinated some time ago and I forgot to record the date.
dave On February 10, 2023 Seeds sown
