About a month ago, I purchased and planted Ferry-Morse Bouquet dill seeds after I had planted the last of the Dukat dill seed packet from Seeds of Change. I thought that it'd be interesting to compare the two varieties both as plants, and as a culinary herb.
Here's a slideshow of their sprouting progress so far:
Also, four more habanero seeds have germinated!
That brings the habanero seedling count to six so far, and I still have three slots that have not germinated anything.
I was so impressed and pleased with the germination success of the habanero seeds, that I decided to press my luck and try to germinate seeds from a Thai green chile pepper that dried out in the refrigerator in the same bag as the habaneros. I harvested around 18 seeds from one pepper and planted two per slot in a germinating tray. I was out of germinating soil, so I just used potting soil, which is denser. Hopefully, at least a few of them will germinate and I can have a real spicy pepper assortment.

That's a nice slideshow with the dill. You can really see how they all went crazy at once after the first two germinated. Also, I like the pic looking down from the leaves - it feels like I'm about to jump!
ReplyDeletethanks! That would be a plunge into an habanero plant, probably not recommended...
