WIT seed packs

Do you have a seed pack from the SETU Waterford stand at the National Ploughing Championships 2016?

We would love you to be part of a large group experiment. The aim of this experiment is to get you to look closer at plants. We want you to plant these seeds, document their germination and growth, and eventually, identify the species of plants we have given you.

There will be prizes for the best entries.  

What to do next?

The following directions on sowing are deliberately vague because we want you to do your own research into how seedlings develop, but you should at least do the following:

  • Place your seed pack in the fridge for 7 days.
  • Sow the seeds in moist compost or soil, place inside on a warm sunny windowsill
  • Water every couple of days or whenever the top of the compost looks like it’s drying out.

Now, you need to wait –

It could take a few weeks for some of the seeds to germinate so be patient. If you can, find a thermometer and place it beside your experiment and record the temperature of the room at night and in the daytime. (Certain supermarkets often sell cheap digital thermometers which record the min and max daily temperatures).

How do I enter the competition?

We want you to take a series of photos along the way and tweet us your progress.

For example, once you’ve sown your seeds, place the envelope they came in beside the pots and take your first picture. Tweet this picture to us @HorticultureWIT or @AgricultureWIT and include the hashtag #WITSeeds and a message.

Once the first seeds germinate, take another photo and tweet us the progress. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #WITSeeds.

Over the next few weeks, tweet us your photos of the growing plants and start trying to identify them.

Don’t forget to use the hashtag #WITSeeds in all your posts.

Happy cultivating !!
