Monday continued the spell of good April weather that we've had over the last week.
We've noticed some rather strange goings on in our newly sown seeds, especially the one’s sown and placed under the indoor grow light. At first I thought our seeds were germinating but rather strange for seeds there was nothing green about the shoots.
Our seeds are sown in peat free New Horizon Multi Purpose compost. We had decent results using this compost last year and if I remember correctly it got good reports in Beechgrove Garden trials. Early feeding of the young seedlings seemed to be the key for us. But this year we are getting these small fungi growing. You can see several in the picture above doing their best to hide among the vermiculite. They are very short lived perhaps around one day before the keel over and disappear.

Goodness they do look odd. I have had what I think are some rogue grass seedlings but nothing as exotic as you.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of them as exotic.
DeleteI had those popping up a couple of years ago. They don't seem to do anything untoward so I'd leave them be, especially when you go on to get healthy looking seedlings like those Bishop's Children. They'll be a lovely addition to the allotment.
ReplyDeleteThat is a curious thing. I've no idea but find it interesting.
