Light drizzle

























Capital COOL after a light evening shower followed by an hour of drizzle. Gardening during drizzle, a soothing activity in a calm atmosphere. Spent my time tidying up pots, removing the old to make room for the growing seedlings and grouped seedlings according type and growth size.

If you've seen the previous blog on 'Seedlings & Growth' in Jul, I've decided to remove the spent Medallions (Butter daisy) replaced with transplanted young seedlings. Pic top; Medallions seedlings on top and Madagascar periwinkle at bottom. Pic below; remaining old Medallions in a pot (left), Yellow turnera seedlings sandwiched in between and a single (spotted buds, yippee!) M. periwinkle in a pot, right - yet to know which bloom colour.



I've experimented growing Zinnia seeds in 'Small Peat Pot' last Sunday. Just 2 days later, germination success! Pic left, more seedlings spotted on 3rd day while young ones already reaching out for sunlight. Now they're relocated to part sun-shade area, next to our bonsai.
Pic below; a Marigold seedling, is taking quite a while.

Update Jul-24: Marigold seedling didn't make it.
