Allotments 4 All

I think quite a few of us sent away for those seeds. Has anyones germinated yet, if so what have you got? None of mine seem to have germinated unless they are all weeds!  >:(

i mixed mine with some other wild flowers so i can't say if the in particular have germinated or not ??? :-\. but there is germination in the area :)

Our "beekeeper" was giving out Sainfoil (?) which has germinated now...  :)

not all of ours germinated,those that did are still teensy,but can identify poppies and cornflower so far

My daughter Tracy planted hers with the kiddies and they are up. Don't know what they are yet though

Sainfoin. It's a type of clover which used to be widely grown as a fodder crop before the advent of monoculture farming. The old books sing the praises of sainfoin as a honey crop, but to all intents and purposes it doesn't exist any more!

It's alive and well on our Lotties... do you want some seed?  :)

I don't have space to grow a worthwhile amount unfortunately.

I just don't believe it!  >:( After posting this thread I had a look to see if I could see any germination and I could, not much, but at least there was some! Where the daffodils have grown, in a circle under a very large conifer, I always let the daffs die down and let the grasses dropped from the bird feeder, grow, and let nature takes it's course! This is where I planted the seeds for bees.

Yesterday OH decided to cut the grass and when I went to top up the bird feeders, I found he had cut back a lot of the circle, including the first sightings of my seeds! ******** Can't possibly repeat what I said!  :o :o :o
