Hi everyone,
I am getting supplies ready for winter sowing my daylily seeds outside.
I have read on here that many of you use paper cups for starting seeds but that is not going to work for seeds outside in a climate as wet as Britain's (as I found out from trying to use the little card jewellery tags to record my first two seed crosses!!!
)
I have found some 16oz cups on ebay in red disposable plastic--would they work?
Aiternatively I have some small (lots of) square plastic seed pots (like jumbo-plug pots) around 4inches/10cm square and about the same depth which are in 10 different colours so I could still identify the cross if the labels deteriorate in the weather over winter.
These are much more substantial and robust but not as deep but I have about 120 of them already. Plus they are pretty!
Would I be best sowing seeds individually in the smaller pots then moving them to cups when they start to grow in Spring or should I put them in cups from the start and risk them deteriorating in our weather?
Unfortunately I don't have the option to put them straight in the ground as Maurice suggested on a previous thread (thanks though, Maurice!)-plus we are hoping to move house before too long so they need to be portable.
I have the brother garden label maker and also some little slate labels and paint pens just to be safe.
Thank you.
