Back to the veg patch.

Sprinkled a heap of chilli seeds on paper towel and cotton buds to try and get some to sprout artificially. Can be finicky things, only been a week but I am about 4 weeks behind. This weekend plan to sprinkle out a heap of tomato seeds in a tray until they are sprouts and then I might buy some sweet chilli seed or big long jalapeno and do the same.

Also brought some rare chilli seeds in Autumn that need to go out but haven't decided how I'd go about trying to germinate them. Straight in soil or in cotton buds or paper towel or GroDan cubes? Dunno yet will wait for all the personally collected seeds of chillis I have sprinkled to see if they germinate, even if I'm late I'll still get a decent crop will just have to keep the water up to them while they are small

Last time I tried seeds I think like 10% germinated. Pissed me off because I spent over a hundred bucks collecting heirloom seeds of all sorts of stuff and ended up wasting my time.

Ive got 15 of these raised planters now so if I can't fill them all up with punnet plants I'll directly sow seeds ontop and hope for the best.

One thing I might do is set up some kinda timed irrigation to make it easier.

Filling planters up with Searles premium which I swear was not this expensive last time I bought it


Cutting it with this cheap stuff


Then amending with

$112 for the above 2 bags of each potting mix and the gyganic. Da fuck..
