Ok, it’s not quite MacArthur Park, but this pack of lettuce seeds did get an unexpected soak. Great germination rate by the looks of it and a lovely sculptural form.
P.S. Eight days later.
Hello there. Welcome to 'out of my shed'. It's a blog about gardening in London throughout the year, with a visit now and then to some fab gardens further afield.

Huge thanks @cut_and_chase_press for my gorgeous REVE print- Love it, love it, love it! -plus the delicate Verbena hastata bonus print- how marvellous! #londonprinters #limitededitionprints #letterpressprinting #handsetprinting #posterdesign #wallartA very uplifting sight on a cold winter ‘s morn #snowdrops #highgate #galanthusnivalis #winterblooms #januarybloomsWonderful @taylorwessingllp Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition @nationalportraitgallery in London until 16 Feb #portraitphotography #londongallery #photography #thingstodoinlondonFabulously restrained & delicate Fuchsia thymifolia (growing to about 60cm).This plant has been flowering in a friend’s garden all winter long. Happier in shadier parts of the garden & can take a heavy clay soil, this makes it an ideal plant for London gardens. Hurrah! #fuchsia #pinkfuchsia #londongardens #frontgarden #januarybloomsVery exciting arrival of small-but-perfectly-formed seed packets from @derrywatkins of Special Plants nr Bath. I’ve ordered : Aquilegia canadensis Albuca shawii Althaea cannabina Aquilegia 'Munstead White' Centaurea scabiosa Centaurea orientalis Chenopodium capitatum Consolida ajacis Didiscus coerulea 'Blue Lace' Many of the seeds she lists are plants that I haven’t heard of, let alone grown before, so can’t wait to get sowing soon-ish! #seeds #seedsforspring #seedcompany #ukseeds #derrywatkins #derrywatkinsseedsRemember Ben? He was a poster boy for our @thechelseafringe dog show last May. And it’s that time of year again when the planning begins. If you have a fun idea for an original, quirky horticulturally-related event floating around in your head, do get in contact at info@chelseafringe.com. It’s never too early to start. And there’s a Launch Gathering on February 10th in central London if you’d like to meet some Fringers in the flesh & find out more about how to hold an event. Again, contact info@chelseafringe.com for more details.Older posts

Looks great I don’t think I would have guessed what it was
Hi JG, Although initially annoyed at wasting a pack of seeds, I was delighted when the open packet revealed this gorgeous condensed growth. Took me quite by surprise too.
Micro veg at its finest!
Indeed!!
Pretty!
Hi Janet, have kept watering them and they’re still going strong. They may be worthy of another pic in a day or so….
