G’day Green thumbs, today I’m updating you guys on my gardening adventures plus a side quest

I’ve got good news and bad news. good news is my grass is growing that’s it in the picture, a few tiny sprouts is a good sign, In a few more weeks it should be well on its way. Bad news is I think I fucked up and didn’t realize how old my seeds were and I think they’ve lost their viability because I can’t find a single sprout of anything except for strawberries and maybe pumpkins but I got those seeds from supermarket fruit. On reflection I realized that the seeds i planted were probably more than five years old, how time does get away from you, I guess the next step is to test the remaining seeds for germination in control and environment probably Chinese containers with wet tissue paper or something just to see if they germinate at all other than that I’ll probably just get some new seeds and try again.

what’s that quote? you always paying for your lessons either with money or experience?, something like that so yeah that’s a bugger but failure isn’t fatal, learn and move forward.

    Nice one!

    Don’t worry too much about the seeds. Just try again with some fresh ones. Maybe check if you have a local seed library.
