Propagating Competition

The First Seeds In The Propagator In 2007!!

window sill propagator, compact electric propagtor for use in your home

Yeh ... I finally managed to plant my first seeds in 2007 ... and just like Carole on her ‘Grow Your Own’ programme I’m really excited to see the new seeds appearing above the surface of the compost ...

Now, I remember a few months ago everyone enjoyed my ‘mystery fruit’ entries ... so I thought I’d give you a treat and see if you can guess what I’ve been sowing!!!

And ... as if just guessing isn’t enough I’m also giving you the chance to win my propagator (well, not the one that I’m using at the moment – that would be a bit too mean ... ) rather, I’m going to get the guys at Two Wests to send the first person who can guess what I sowed in my propagator on Sunday, one of their own windowsill propagators!!

So ... now I’ve got your attention, if you’d like to take part, here’s the first clue ...

window sill propagator, comes complete with seed trays and covers

Sown on Sunday 12th February, I’m expecting to see signs of growth in the first few days of March ...

I’ll post everyone’s guesses and it’s the first person to guess correctly that wins ... and if no one gets it on this first clue ... my second clue will be posted in 24 hours ...

Game On!!

Tomatoes?

Posted by: Stuart at February 14, 2007 06:04 AM

Good guess Stuart ... but no!
I did buy some husk tomato seeds on the same day that I bought the seeds I've planted ...
But I've no chance of a crop of tomatoes from these seeds!!

Peppers? Sweet or Chilli

I bit of a hot answer Jo ... and in fact when I bought my potting compost I looked to buy some pepper seeds that I could plant at the same time ... but no joy ... none said I could plant them in February ... look at the new clue and see if you're inspired

Jerusalem artichokes ... no I'm afraid not ... although I am going to grow some of these (inspired by Carole) I'm getting tubers to plant not seeds ...

Seeds planted on 12 th Feb
parsnip or Broad bean

I'm guessing Janet that you didn't get to see the picture of the seeds before you said broad bean ... although I do love growing broad beans 'cause I'm always reminded of being at school growing beans in a jam jar of water ... oh happy days!
