Task · part of 2. Twelve plants grown to harvest and to flowering
2(b). Six flowers (three from seed, three from seedlings) through flowering
Required Often forgotten
Through flowering. Annuals from seed will do it in a season; many perennials will not flower in their first year, which is the trap in this half.
Notes and warnings
Note. Through FLOWERING. Annuals grown from seed will normally flower in their first season; many perennials will not flower at all in their first year, however well they grow. Choosing a perennial for one of the three-from-seed is the commonest way to lose this half of the requirement.
