How careless can you get?
« on: February 23, 2007, 08:46:24 »
Just found that I had left ALL my seeds in the 'potting shed' over the winter.

All the beany things had been eaten by mice & the rest are probably too dampened to germinate.

A costly lack of thought!

Ditto.  Carefully dried and forgotten sunflower heads fine until a fortnight ago when the mice invaded the shed and stripped all the seeds.

Got my own back though  - queue murderous manaical laughter.

Hi Tim,

Really sorry to hear that. I've got spare seed - too many varieties to type here but think could PM you a list as a file attachment (failing that e-mail). PM me if I can help.

PS I was lucky - only left 4 packets in the shed -all now unusable.

I'm not quite as bad Tim; I sowed some sweet peas last week in cell trays each variety seperately labelled.

What did I do?  Yes!!! I knocked them over and quite few of them had germinated.

Well I just re-potted them and will just consider them to be 'mixed' batch. >:( and to think I went to the extra expense of of buying by variety rather than a mixture!! :'(

Ah well I suppose they will just look the same in a vase!! ;D

You could join in the next 'pass the parcel' Tim - see the swap shop for details.  I've also got spare seeds I'm happy to pass on.

Thanks again. You'all will be the first to know! 

And TG - see my post on 'chitting' - 2 years ago I fell down a flight of stairs with those.

Could I match up the spuds? Your guess!!
