Any one know what this is?
« on: June 21, 2013, 17:01 »
Because I am a newbie useless person, when I sowed these seeds I didnt write down what they were (I dont have a clue at all because not many things germinated - I think down to over watering again because I am useless).

Any ideas?

Could it be PSB?

Only if you sowed some :lol: Sorry not sure I can tell one brassica from another,every time I plant them out I think I will remember & then am surprised by what grows, or annoyed when I miss a cauliflower & just spot it as it blows :mad:

I have an annual list of "lessons learned this year".
Number 2 on my list this year is to label and mark ALL seedlings when sowing AND planting out.
Can't be that difficult  :)

Hi Nij,

You're not useless...you're a greenhorn!  I made that mistake more times than I wish to tell (Sure you'll remember Charleen...keep telling yourself that!).

Chin up, think of it like a present...it'll be a surprise  ;)

LOL Charleen and seaside - atleast I am not the only one to do it.

Another tip I learnt is, sow thinly means the packet can to a mile long not two metres lol

Nij48 you are not useless, anyone can forget to label their seedlings  :lol:

I was doing well this year, until last week when I potted on butternuts and courgettes and didn't put any of the labels back!!

I have been gardening for enough years to know better but I am not sure what seed potatoes I planted where so it took a while to identify where I put my first earlies so you are not alone.

For ID of your photo, my money is on Swede if it is a brassica.
