Garden journal: Parsley, hippeastrum
Feb. 3rd, 2012 07:29 amNote to self. I soaked parsley seeds the night before last and planted them in a flat yesterday.
I now have 100% budding on all adult hippeastrum bulbs and offsets. That would be two 'Apple Blossom,' three Trader Joe NOIDs, one 'Gervase,' two 'Exotica' and one 'Papilio.' I see one bud in the class of 2006 keepers and two in the class of 2006 discards. This is the year I will choose three from that class and discard the rest. They're probably all infected with mosaic virus and thus aren't okay for gifting to anyone, although I'm beginning to think that the virus is a bit like HIV in that with proper care they can live long happy lives.
