I collected seed from a plant I had in the garden. I'd not done that before. I put the seeds on the surface of 4 pots and watered. I read online that the seeds need light to germinate and shouldn't be covered. It also said they should be kept moist. That will be challenging in this hot weather.

I've had this packet of seeds for at least 2 years and hadn't gotten around to sowing them so thought I should finally. I sprinkled them around the garden. They'll have to get on with it themselves.
