Potato onions starting to sprout and grow. I sowed all of my potato onion seeds of 28 different types at the end of january. I am growing them under a grow lamp and i have the impression that they don't grow that well. I guess you would need a fan and also to vaporize the air to do it properly. They always seem to be at risk of drying out and i am not so sure about the results. If they all stay alive i will have about 500 seed-grown potato onions.
I weeded all my malus sieversii trees and i lost quite a few to what i believe was a combination of deer, rabbit and rodent attacks. I think i lost between one fourth and one third of the 426 plants i grew from seed. I discovered some visually very amazing and different ones in two of the six seed batches. I singled out several unique ones that i planted in my polytunnel to grow them properly. I didn't have the time to protect the 426 as i would have liked to. All trees of the 4 other batches have basically green leaves. Here is one example. This is a very nice green leaved one. And another green leaved one. Already these two are different in leaf colour and shape. But i selected them from the batches where all had green leaves in order to be sure to have genetic diversity. I kept 18 seedlings in the polytunnel that contain some of every batch. The following ones are very special and unique and display many variations of red and green and even other colours.
