Winter carrots seeds were sowed. This is two of 8 pots that I sowed with more mini rainbow carrots & some finger carrots. I should be able to harvest these carrots in November/December. I will have round & finger carrots sowed outdoors in pots in October & November, moved indoors over Winter & those should be ready for harvest in January/February 🥕

Some of my rare Magnolia Blossom sugar snap pea seeds. They're different than my other snap pea seeds. I got these from #SaltspringSeeds & they've been tested & do extremely well in PNW area. I only support local, small seed businesses & don't buy much seeds anymore. I trade seeds with others & use local free seed libraries more than buying.

Wattles planted as seeds about two months ago. The seeds in the 15 pots on the left were blanched for 5 seconds and cooled. The 15 on the right were just soaked for that time in cold water. All planted in Yates native seeding mix with a teaspoon of fire ash. All have a minimum of four seeds per pot.
Result: no difference between the blanched and non blanched set. (That advice, while believable, is wrong.)
Anecdata: the fire ash helped germination. This set is much more successful than the "just Yates native seeding mix" set I tried last winter.
Another month or two indoors and then they'll go outside for the wallabies to eat!

A very big bin full of oregano flower & seed heads. I'm tapping them indoors, on a tarp. Collecting the seeds to pack up. Saving some for us to sow. Donating thousands to local seed libraries 💚✌️👩🌾

I'm also sowing more flowers in our partial darksides of backyard/mostly shady areas.

One of my neighbours gifted me a packet of sweet basil seeds & some homemade hot wings 💗🙌
I love random food & seed gifts 😁 -
Now's the time to get nettle seeds! Cut the plant from the bottom, hang it upside down to dry for 3 days, then rub the seeds off and pass everything through a medium-fine screen so that only the seeds end up on the other side. Remember, nettle picks up toxins and heavy metals so only forage it from clean places!

Ancient flowering #plants may have used #dinosaurs to spread their #seeds
#Fossils upend a long-held theory about #angiosperm #evolution
Over 74 million years ago, there was a richer garden of fruit- and seed-bearing plants than scientists thought. A #fossil analysis suggests that tall forest trees spread winged seeds and fed animals with fleshy, blueberry-sized fruits long before the reign of the dinosaurs ended.

In this week's gardening blog post it's seed buying time of the year again. I spent a lot of time checking my seed stocks, organising my seed database, and choosing very carefully which seeds to order for the coming year.

Harvested 3 bags worth of green leaf lettuce seeds. After a couple days of drying I'll shake them all out.

Tie up, mark up and net up
The above exhortation may seem like the motto of a bondage convention, but no, it’s just August in the garden. The heat is phenomenal and all my plant are suffering heat exhaustion, I am rushing around trying to keep everything alive without selling my soul to the water company. My already exorbitant water bill is so high that I go out to meet the postman and hide the bills from Cruella (my wife).
12th August 2026. Things I have been doing lately.
- Net and dry figs
- Tie up flopping plants
- Mark blooms for next year’s seed
- Pot up some spider plants
Net and dry figs. I absolutely love figs, but unfortunately so does every bird on the Costa Blanca so it is necessary to net them. The key to netting figs is to get the timing right. If you leave it too long and the fruit gets too ripe, the birds will happily strip the tree in a couple of days.
I have two fig trees, one of which I have espalied up the wall of my outside kitchen. As an experiment this year I decided not to net the big tree, but instead pick fruit daily to minimise bird predations. When netting figs or any soft fruit it is important that you use small mesh netting as if you use anything larger you are likely to find perplexed birds hanging upside down in your nets every morning. The photos below shows the correct size net and my espalied fig all netted up.
It is important that your net goes right down to the groundFortunately I just got netting in time as the birds had already been at the big tree and a bit of the espalied as can be seen from the photos below. I gave these spoiled fruits to the chickens but they got chicken diarrhea and Cruella accused me of poisoning her girls.
Drying figs. If you have heavily cropping fig trees you will never be able to eat them all fresh without upsetting your stomache. So your choices are give them away to friends or dry them for use later. As I love figs, not a fig leaves our premises, all the surplus are dried.
Drying figs in the sun is very simple. First get yourself some mesh trays to place your figs on. Then cut all your figs in half and place them on your trays cut side up (you never need to turn them over). Then place your trays on a table in the sun covered by a mesh protector (otherwise the birds will get them). It should take about two days in this weather to fully dry your figs. Once dry put them in a container in your freezer and use them when you wish.
A very important stage in the drying process is to place the bottom of the legs of your drying table in water otherwise ants will quickly find your lovely figs. The water barrier is very effective, I just cut down some milk or orange juice cartons to make my water barrier. The photos below show the full process in action.
Tie up flopping plants. By now all your annuals should more or less be in bloom or very close to doing so. To keep your plants looking their best and healthy you will need to begin the process of staking up floppy plants.
I have been selecting seeds from my Marigolds for over 10 years and now have plants that easily grow over a metre tall. This height means they can get a bit floppy and need staking. When staking always make sure that you tie your string around the stake and then make a figure of eight with the string around the plant stem. In this way you will stop the stem being chafed by the stake in the wind; and if possible use a twine not a smooth string. The photos below show my almost daily staking activity.
Mark blooms for next year’s seed. Growing next years flowers from your own gathered seed is immensely rewarding and will mark you out as a gardener rather than a plant shopper. And it couldn’t be easier I will show you the start of the process now and I will return to collecting seeds later in the year.The first step is to mark up those flowers heads that you think are the prettiest, best shaped and from strong looking plants. Once you have decided on your selected blooms then place a strip of masking tape just under the flower. This will serve the purpose of showing you that it was a lovely flower even after it has gone old and shrivelled. The other purpose of the masking tape is to stop you deadheading the spent blooms. The photos below show the start of the process in my garden.
Pot up some Spider plants. Spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum) are an old favourite and are often found hanging neglected in bathrooms etc. But they are an excellent plant for cleaning the air in your home. They became famous after a NASA study found they could remove certain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, from sealed test chambers. Now I am not saying they make a huge difference, but in a bedroom etc they are easy to grow and are fun.You can easily take cuttings from spider plants as they throw off hundreds of their little pups. Just snip some off and settle them into well drained compost and leave them in bright but sheltered space for a couple of weeks till they root. Once you see growth you can move them into your chosen position. See photos below.

Land cress (looks & tastes like watercress) seeds ready to be harvested! Not much soil or water required to grow these & only a small pot 😀!
Great salad source of dietary iron 🤗 esp if consumed with a vit C in a nice glass of orange juice 🤸♂️#foodgrowing
