    HaHa Sorry, not meaning to laugh at your post, but I've done exactly the same thing. Labelled everything clearly when planting them, but forgot to move the labels when I was repotting them. Now have a lot of stuff I have no clue what they are :rotfl: Guess we'll see when they start sprouting properly.

    The only things I recognise are the tomatoes and the chilies :rotfl:

    Cosmos? Marigold?

    Next set of leaves will give us more of a clue

    Marigolds were in the pellets at the other end of the tray. :D

    I just plant edibles, then I forget what they are, but I know they are edible

    Jiffy pellets are good, but this is MSE! :eek:

    I find that cardboard toilet roll inners, cut up, stacked in plastic trays and filled with compost do the same job, allowing individual planting out. Great for parsnips and other root veg. :)

    I vote for spinach too.

    I like Jiffy pellets btw, but the MSE way to get them is to buy them at the end of the year when the supermarkets reduce all their small gardening kits etc by 90% or so. I bought a dozen Grow Your Own herb and tomato kits last year from Tesco, for 20p each. Each kit contained three small packets of seed, twelve Jiffy pellets and a small holding tray with plastic lid, like a mini propagator. 144 Jiffys for £2.40, everything else a bonus. I've even used a few of the seeds!

    I paid 25p for 50. Very MSE. :rotfl:

    There was a promo code for eBay to get £5 off a purchase of any amount. These were £5.25 inc p&p so seemed like a good deal.

    First time I've ever used them but I'm quite impressed.

  • Looks like either spinach or kale. Both in my greenhouse and I can't remember which are which! Not going out int his blooming rain to check either :)

    My peppers look like this but they are very baby at the mo x

    Those jiffy things look awesome! When repotting do you just chuck in with more compost?

    Me too, so I was really careful this year. Then last week the cat knocked all the pots over and so the labels came out. The peppers/ chilis are not such an issue as they will have the same growing conditions and will be obvious when they fruit, but I'm going to have to guess which squash is which (bush or climber), and whether the toms are bush or cordon :(
