Yes and no. There are a zillion different chemicals involved, all
plants and varieties differ, and people vary in their sensitivity
to each one. So looking for a single factor is a waste of time.

Ok, I won't then. ;-)

I'll go back to wondering why I didn't make the time to mark what I
put in each drill a couple of weeks ago.

I think I can spot the carrots, radishes (easy), lettuce (also easy),
spring onion / chive / garlic (?) and summat else that I don't think
has come through yet (parsnip maybe)?

All the best ..
