  • Eyes up or eyes down?

    Never seen it on a packet of seeds, but what way up should your broads and runners go?

    Also any other seed orientation worth noting?

    Excuse me, could we have an eel? You've got eels down your leg.

    On it's edge, convex edge uppermost, but if you get them upside down, they grow anyway, natures like that. When I was a kid I was told if I planted them upside down they would try to grow to Australia, Hmmm?
    I you'st to have a handle on the world .. but it BROKE!!

        I tend to put them in long ways on if you know what I mean - if you hold the bean so it's tall rather than wide, and plunge it in that way up. However, when I sow direct, I just bung em in and they land on their sides. The soon find down for root and up for shoot so I shouldn't worry.

          Gravity is a wonderful thing!
          I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

            On an edge works well for beans, also seeds like marrows and courgettes. Helps stop them rotting I believe. However, most seeds, corms and bulbs will find their own way to grow in spite of our efforts, thank goodness.
