I have, as always, left mine a bit too long in their original loo rolls without potting on. They’ve gone in the garden now.



I’ve also been out and sprinkled/planted about a hundred spare seeds in the bunding at the bottom of the road. I suspect the soil is too poor and dry for them to do much, but they’ve got more chance out there than in a bag in my shed!

What a good idea Fizz... so that's why everyone was panic buying loo rolls before lockdown! 😂

I had 28 inners. I was tempted at the time to post a photo complaining about how long it had taken to unwind the rolls. :-)

Garfield, bit of thirst won't hurt them at this stage but it might encourage stronger root growth. Helpful for when they get much taller :-)
