Sowing for spring 2013

It is time for sowing, I think I have sown much more then I can use.
That happens if you have seeds of your own. The packet of seeds you buy usually has only 20-30 seeds. Pansy fizzy seeds were Rs. 3 per seed.
It takes a little effort but it is worth collecting your own seeds
Coreopsis seeds are not available in the market, last year Dr. AY Khan gave me a few plants, now I have a hundred seedlings
Some of my sowing pots
Cuttings of Allamanda & Axora Ranunculus bulbs in the back ground.
Enough to keep me busy for the next month.

regular fertilizer in low doses works best for annuals... you can fertilizer after 1 week of transplanting... if you are using compost then you will need fertilizer after 2 months of transplanting..

I start with soluble NPK 1-1-1 diluted to 50 PPM, N after a week and slowly increasin to 100 PPM. After transplanting it depends on preplanting prepration of beds/pots, a balanced fertiliser in dilution of 200 parts per Million may be given fortnightly.
