I've been really really busy lately, so I'm not sowing much - but I still managed to sow a handful of different seeds in the last month. Some are new, while others I'm just testing old seed for viability.

I usually sow in a mix that is equal parts perlite, vermiculite and ProMix, but this time I only had Fafard's peat mix (similar to ProMix but lots more chopped bark etc). These are streptocarpus seedlings - sown about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't expecting this good of a germination rate, so they are a little more densely sown than I like.
