The growing medium after standing in rainwater |
The seeds have been scattered across the serface - now comes the waiting game... The seeds can take anywhere from 10 days to several weeks to grow, and it's pot luck as to which variety of VFT I get. Not that I mind - I love the challenge of growing the seeds...
I seem to have the knack of getting awkward carnivorous plant seeds to grow... I can get Sarracenia seeds sprouting without problems - but I guess leaving them in the 'fridge for 6 months in damp sphagnum moss does the trick... I know it's a long term project, as these plants don't really mature for 4 / 5 years - but it's worth it.
As for the baking - three lots of biscuits. Triple chocolate cookies, vanilla biscuits and sweet mix spice biscuits.

They're easy to make, and I know what's in them, so there are no nasty nuts to worry about for me.
Ah well, time to call this quits - I want to listen to my audiobook.
Back when I get chance...

It’s the time to make your play
Take the rose today
It’s the time to have your say
Take the whole bouquet
Have no regrets and don’t keep hanging on
Now all your yesterdays are gone
