Every year I make the same mistake. Every year I think growing from seed will be easy and frankly it's not but I seem to have constant annual memory loss of this fact. This year I decided to plant out some marigold seeds - pretty and you get to eat them too - bonus! Sowing them is a blast - how easy? Fill a tray with soil, scatter seeds, cover with soil water them and stash them in a warm & light place - in our case the conservatory. That was three weeks ago. The seedlings are now an inch and a half high and it's time. This part has never gone successfully for me. Transfer the seedlings from comfy nesting tray nice and happy and perky to small pots to allow to grow bigger. Easy right? Wrong - usually I seem to in one foul swoop to wipe out the perfect young seedlings with heavy hands and they die within days (if not hours in protest of being handles badly I am sure). And the mess, o god the mess ...... today my challenge is to transfer these little green beauties to pots with a degree of patience ..... wish the little darlings luck.....
Date Night is normally tonight but just for today it is postponed....Digby due out of his op later today and will need much cuddling and stroking (so instead of doing that to each other on Date Night we forego to look after our beloved pooch - a slightly twisted way of putting it but there you go and don't judge me please!!)
