This year among my old seed was a packet with a Spanish variety name, then marked as "Rare", so I decided to grow the seed. In the pack were ten seeds, so as a first try I grew five seeds and kept five seeds, just in case. The first five all failed to germinate, so it was all or nothing now, so I used the remaining seeds and after a few weeks, got two seedlings. Then at the time I pricked them out, a small tiny set of cotyledons showed themselves, so I stuck this little seedling in a cup too.
This little seedling has struggled to get any size, but even as small as it is, it still looks healthy. The two seedlings I originally got, have found their way into the garden and are growing since planted out last week.
What to do with this tiny seedling, well I think I'll pot it up into a bigger pot and watch it for a while. I didn't notice until recently that it's growing two growing tips, so I'm hopeful of getting it to grow.
This is it in its cup today.
