So far my experience with asymbiotic seed sowing has been appallingly poor. Out of the several dozen or so flasks I have sowed I have only had success with three flasks, all Anacamptis laxiflora. While a few have obviously succumbed to bacterial and fungal infection and a few froze in the fridge (I have a better understanding of the really cold spots in my fridge now!) the main problem has simply been zero germination. I suspect that the error lies in the time taken when they are being sterilised, or when they are being sown (which tends to incorporate some liquid).

Initially a record of my attempt to establish and manage a micro meadow in my back garden, this had expanded to include general musings and records about my garden and allotment projects, as well as examples of both my still and time lapse photographic projects.
