Hello friends of gardening 

Seeding of Astrantia rubra

[fermi de Sousa]

I've been noticing these dicot seedlings appearing in various pots!
A new weed?
The last pic shows one of the culprits - one of the Delosperma cooperi plants we bought last September in Canberra when visiting Paul T.
Should I remove them now and pot up separately or wait till they produce their first true leaves?
cheers

I'm too happy to show you these nice Pancratium illyricum seedlings. I 've been waiting one year since i've sown them but what a good surprise to get one hundred of them 
Sorry for the picture, I have only my mobile phone 
The second picture is the parent which is starting to bloom today

Warm weather has brought up some seedlings:

Acis autumnalis
Eschscholzia (orange)
Narcissus r. watieri ex 'Abaleish' (a kind gift from the Bainbridges)
Pulsatilla vulgaris
Scilla peruviana

Nb: for some reason I wrote 2015 on my labels...don't ask me why?!

And one from the veg garden, these are Asparagus seedlings.

Nicotiana glauca seedlings pricked out (in the foreground is Codonopsis pilosa)....................


N.glauca has the common name of Tree Nicotiana. Last year mine grew from 40cm to 2.5 metres and came through the winter (mostly outdoors) unscathed.
I have spare seed if anyone is interested.

My Massonia seedlings are now 9 months old and are just going dormant.  Shall I dry them off completely, store them coolish and then water again in August?

I received a packet of M. wittebergensis from one of the exchanges and the PBS says it is a summer grower. Would I plant these seeds now in a fast-draining mix, water once and treat as I would the winter growers?  I reckon it could be tricky should any heat and humidity descend on these fog-bound lands.
