Afternoon green fingered friends, here in short meadows the first crop of seagrass has been hanging in the green house for 3 days.
Mix made and the plants prepared. The preparation was by shaking the plants in a bucket, seed collection time.
Once this was done the seed were removed and popped into an envelope, maked up and stored.
Water added to the glycerine and the plants emersed. They can sit until Sunday/Monday .
I only used a small group for the first batch . The rest are maturing well and I would expect looking at the colour they will be ready this coming week. Still giving a little water, but as the temperature is so much lower been doing it every 3 days.
From these 9 small plants came .
Hazard a guess, 1000 or more, ready for next year !
The remaining plants are as you can see rapidly nearing harvest.
I love that pink/red tinge to the plant at this stage.
Pleased with this years crop, the heat definitely caused the loose seed in the garden from old compost to germinate, seeing them appear after 2016 when they were harvested was exciting, esp considering the size of the seed.
