At SimplySeed we have been been busy sowing and this week has seen the start of some of the early summer seeds, such as verbena, ageratum, salvia, and nemesia.
Now, we are are still not encouraging everyone to get out there and start sowing. Remember, we have some pretty impressive germination factilities that allows us to bring plants on in optimum conditions, enabling us to get an early sowing in. But more importantly, we also have fully heated greenhouses for growing on afterwards. For most of you sowing these varieties in March and April when it is warmer, will be fine.
The picture to the left shows a batch of 13000 Geranium plugs in the germination room. As we sow them, they are stacked tray on tray then moved straight out to the greenhouses just as they are begining to show.
All these seeds are from the same batches you will receive in our packets. Below are some of our previous sowings.
