Garden Seeds!
Hi All,
As a lurker, I'm entitled to ask one question once in a blue moon (I hope!). Here's the question: I have been growing my own bedding plants rather successfully for the past two growing seasons but I have noticed something that irks me a bit. I have collected my own seed from my plants and have used it to start seedlings for the next year, but from a rather generous collection of marigold seeds, I have had a total of three plants grow from two trays, with three seeds planted in each cell and a total of 48 cells for each tray. So I go to the Canadian Tire (exclusive for us Canucks ya know!) and pick up three paks of marigold seed and put two in each cell and almost all appear! Am I missing something here when I collect the seeds? I have had this happen with coleus too but most of the others I gather such as snapdragon, are fine. I was going to take a deep tray with some growing medium next year and 'carpet bomb' the thing with seed and transplant what comes up! Just wondering!
