In the first couple of trays in the old propagation mix, I grew what I believe were seeds of a rare tomato and got one spindly seedling that looks like it will fall over at any time. Having only four seeds left and no likelihood of getting any more, I sowed them all. After what seems an eternity, I have two showing in the mix this morning. Now this makes me happy as I'll grow both if they survive the journey.
Also, I found 6 seeds for a tomato I shared too much, that being Morado, that I gave all my seed away, except for the six. Well I planted the six and got five to germinate and while this was happening, I contacted someone who I gave seeds to to ask for some - just in case. They arrived and I sowed some of them as well, so another variety I'll save lots of seed from.
In the seed tin I found seed for the variety Cebrino, as at the time I couldn't remember what it was like, until I looked up photos I'd saved. This was a brown and green striped small plum, similar to the commercial Zebrino. I had a good germination with these, but pulled them out - that's how bad they were.
Here's a few photos of this morning, the rare tomatoes in the top photo, my Morado in the bottom. The Collioure Long Plum in the middle, this is from old seed saved on paper towel, posted earlier.
