Maybe the containers aren't getting enough light.

I recommend that you put coarse sand on top of the media, that might
discourage moss growth.

Subject: [pbs] algae and moss in seedling pots

I've had problems this year with algae and moss infesting the top layer of
my outdoor seedling pots and trays, which seems to be detrimental to some
of the seedlings.? I am tediously removing the infested layer and
replacing with clean DG, as pictured here (one row remaining.)

I am afraid?an algae/moss inhibitor also harm the seedlings.? I have not
had this problem in previous years.? We've actually been quite dry after
an early wet season in October and November.???Any suggestions?

While i wait for my nut labels to print for work, thought i would quickly
see what is happening here :)
Your very right Peter.....

Oops, Bugger that was me...... Oops is another one & means i made a
little
mistake......
To any of you left wondering....
Bugger is regularly used in conversation in Australia, but certainly
depends on the sentence as to what it means..... The old oxford
dictionary gives it a terrible meaning, which no body has used for
hundreds
of years so it should be removed, & not to be mentioned here by any means
please....

Bugger is recognised in many Australian dictionaries or slang
dictionaries,
we don't normally use abbreviations like "Afaik " in Australia but our
whole language base seems to include a lot of slang words in
conversation,
so many in fact that most people would no longer know which ones are
slang
& which ones are true dictionary meanings, many are being added to
dictionaries, it makes it confusing for outsiders for sure !
In normal conversations in Australia bugger is used all the time & i
wonder
when the meaning changed, & why ? It is usually used with the
terminology,
( O my goodness i buggered that up ! ) "The understood meaning for all
Australians is - " I made a silly mistake "
(What a bugger) can be used like "i wish that had not happened" (Don't
bugger it up ) "don't break that thing" (You bugger) i'm not sure i can
get
this one but its used a lot & finally (Bugger off) "Go away"

Quite funny really no wonder people are confused by us Australians.... I
sometimes wonder if our convict roots played a roll in language changes
as
the English deported large numbers of uneducated men & women, most only
guilty of steeling a loaf of bread through forced starvation, or similar
minor offences......Many of them couldn't even spell their names & that
is
why so many names changed here on arrival to the convict colonies.....

While perfectly understandable to me, I hate to think what a translation
into Hungarian or Polish of the words "bugger" or "doofuses" might be.

Dear Friends,

I currently have Lapeirousia oreogena in bloom. This is its
2nd year. The small flowers are intensely colored and very striking.
I gave it is expected dry season, but was afraid I had over done it
by denying water too long. It is responding nicely to late watering.
It is blooming about a month later than last year.

I also have and expect flowers soon on L. jacquinii and L.
silenoides. The former bloomed last winter, but I am anticipating
first bloom on the latter species.

The flowers are very intensely colored, tiny and have a definite charm.

Enjoying these small goodies. Jim W.

ps the weather is still oddly mild with another day of 60 F and
sunshine - that's 4 in a row . Odd Jan and Feb.
