Propagation Grows On

The Seeds Are Coming Out Of Hibernation ... Just Like Me!

seedlings starting to grow in the windowsill propagator

Sorry about the weeks absence ... I’m taking after the seeds in my propagator and keeping my head down until it gets a bit warmer!

But just as the eighth seedling makes its appearance I’m back to provide you with another clue as to the identity of the seeds that have taken up residence in my windowsill propagator ...

Having set up home in my propagator I’m expecting these new little residents to be home bodies ... and although they’ve got a bit of a delicate nature I’ll be able to tell when I’m getting them down ...

Another cryptic clue ... if you’re still clueless pop back on Wednesday for another hint ...

Hoorah!!
Jo, your persistence has paid off and you’re a winner!!!!! I just wish I could send you one of the plants that have started to grow ... but I can send you a propagator so you can grow your own!!
Just drop me an email at greenhousegirl@twowests.co.uk ...

And look out for my next competition ... arriving on Sunday if you’d like to take part ...

Thank you so much. I should have got the answer alot sooner than I did, I was looking at these seeds a few weeks ago in a garden centre, They were in the children's 'novelty seeds' section. Apparently, if you touch the leaves they curl up. Poor little plant must hate to be touched.
I have emailed you, thanks once again,
Jo.
