As the day's are getting longer and warmer, some of us are turning our attention to seeds and seedlings.
I read somewhere that if you put a slice of tomato on bedding compost ( I used sphagnum moss) it will sprout.
Being rather skeptical and having nothing better to do, at the time, I gave it a try, about a week ago.
I used a small plant pot and covered with cling film
I now have 6 seedlings and more just starting to sprout.
Having hardened off sweet pea seeds that I harvested from last years plants, in the fridge for a few weeks,
and then put into an un heated propagate on the window sill, they are only a couple of inches high so far, and a bit spindly,
but they are trying.
Sunflower seeds, given the same treatment are growing like Triffids.
