Spring in increments

On Friday we did a certain amount of flower work.  T was potting on verbascums and agastaches while I sowed mullein seeds we brought back from Conques, an important stage on the pilgrimage route to Compostela, in the Aveyron in France.  We were very careful this time as our Breton mulleins turned out to be foxgloves.  I also sowed mullein seeds from a plant found growing on our own road.  I suppose we should have sown these earlier, but we just didn't get round to it.


Abbey-Church of Saint-Foy and its Mulleins, from which we extracted seeds.



I also sowed other flower seeds that need time to germinate.

Today, Sunday 23rd, we're going out for lunch, but it'll be a fruit day tomorrow, so we're sowing tomato seeds.  We'll switch on the next propagator today to start the process.
