>How do you do it? Some seeds spawn the next year. depends, some you have to pop into the freezer for a bit to kick them into earlier cycle, indeed, many need a frost to kick their biological clock into action. But yes, takes time, grow inside window ledge, repot, as they grow and after few years get to put into larger pot outside and climatise them for a year or two and then plant out when good size. It's a slow process and can't do huge amount, but every little helps and local seeds so used to conditions and by that, soil types and climate. I tend to focus on nut trees, ideally want to get some walnuts, but few hazelnuts, apples easy, same with cherry. Trees that also produce food and add to rummaging experience on walks. But utter lack of walnut trees around my area, as all over the decades got turned into wood for use/abuse. Actually, lots of acorns/Oaks but few hazelnuts and the like, fair few apple and some pear tree's about, but general lack of all those really. I also like to plant out sunflowers, chives, other herbs randomly here and there, though not done any mint, probably be irresponsible with that as the way it spreads, though i'd take mint of nettles and who wouldn't. |
