Sow a Seed a Day for a year - Challenge :)

[SarrissUK]

If you can wait about 10 years, I may be able to tell you.

Today's seed is Sambucus Sachalinensis (Red berried Elder).

Perhaps more of a shrub than a tree, again, ask me in 10 years time.

I've put a reminder in my calendar for ten years' time

I'd never heard of this Arbutus unedo before. Are the fruits nice to eat?

The answer's in the name - arbutus unedo - unedo translates as "I eat (only) one"

Yesterday I sowed holly - the common green sort. Not sure what I will sow today. Might be another oak or two.

In case you're wondering what I intend to do with all these trees in my bijou garden, I am not far from the National Forest, who gladly receive and plant 2 year old whips and saplings. https://www.nationalforest.org/get-i...grow-tree-seed

They prefer native trees so they won't be getting the strawberry tree

Today, 3 Yellow Flesh Peach stones - Supech16 from Morries and a kilo of Biloxi Blueberries 'BILOXI' SOUTHERN HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY also from Morries yelow sticker fruit selection.
I didn't really sow these, just emptied the berries onto a piece of waste ground and raked them in. If any of them germinate it will be a miracle!

Today, as part of my Seedy DIY Advent Calendar, its -

Sanvitalia Procumbens "Orange Sprite" packed in 2011. AKA creeping Zinnia HHA

Despite this genus dating back to the 18th Century, named after Professor Federica Sanvitali, it is seldom seen in summer gardens. Blooming over a long period, it is perfect for containers, baskets and the Flower Pouch. Its trailing habit offers a profusion of semi-double orange flowers with dark centres. Height: 10cm (4in).

Pimpinella major Rosea from Touchwood Seeds in Swansea in 2012.

Looks like a pink flowered cow parsley............and seeds should be sown fresh. Ooops.
