Today went to nursery to view all the plants and the progress of sedlings  Digital summer king was doing good and looks healthy, Lupin gallery mix was looks growing well, Sweet pea - Lianthus Cupix Drawf  looks good, Origanum vulgaris totally dead with leaf wilted and turn yellow. Sophora tetraptera seedling are growing but too slow. Dianthus summer king seedling which are pricked out and potted in small pots looks good. Dianthus punicel seedling looke healthy. Jupiter media blaauw still fresh  but not much progress. Veronica "Emarald Green" and Thymus vulgaris are healthy and root growth well.

Today for my propagation class the pricking out and potting on goes on Sweet pea "Lalythus cupid dixit mix" . Firstly we mix the soil such as 1/4 metre soil, 75 gms Hydraflo II, 875 gms Osmolote, 750 gms dolomite and 250 gms Lime.

Firstly, fill in with many small and medium square pots of approximately 28 potting mix then level off the soil. Once finished labelled and water them gently. Then placed them in a sheltered area to grow on mainly in greenhouse. Plants must be well watered as soon as possible after pricking out or potting on.
