Rocket seeds again!

A) Yes, that is the preferred method. I have real trouble getting /anything/ to germinate in our allotment soil! They just dry up too quickly. B) you can plant them into pots and when large enough, knock them out and plant the lot, rooted compost... Ok. We've mostly been using root trainers, which are good for looooong roots, but this time the caulis are in a plain flat seed tray. I'll put them out one day then keep an eye on them and let you know how they go. I guess individually in paper pots might work, then plant the whole thing. I tried that with beans last year, but I suffer from my pots going mouldy before the plants go out, which is ... slimey. Digging them out of a tray 'checks' them, and that's it. Very pleasant gobbets of cauli result innit. Just have to remember to pick them when they're still small and not wait for them to giant up! I could be tempted to use (Shhhh! EC spies might be listening!) the juice from boiled rhubarb leaves to spray the aphids with. A-ha, I was discussing this with someone yesterday! We both had vague ideas that there was /something/ I could do with the rhubarb leaves (other than remembering not to feed it to the chickens!!)! |
