I Remember when i was 9/10yrs old my Dear Dad growing his own Flowers for his Garden :) Sweetpeas & Annaul Asters were his Fav :) Iv been growing My Own Sweetpeas since iv had My GH but never tried the Asters as they were Half Hardy & My GH was`nt warm enough 4 them :( So when i saw this Packet of Seeds Memorys Flooded back& i wanted to try&grow them 2

I dont have a Seed Probigator so i placed the Seeds on My Landing Window Sill Hopeing it would be warm enough as we all know Heat Rises & to My Big Surprise this Morning i saw 2 Seeds Peeking :)

Yep 2 of them coming up already!!!

U cant Imagine My Joy :)

I Felt like a Little Kid & Ran off to tell every1 lol :)

A lovely surpise Jacque.
Asters are lovely, and great for zingy touches of colour in a border. Well done, and do let us know how the baby Asters progress.
Love from us both.

They've always been a favorite of mine too Jacque but in my garden I lose half of them, they just wilt and Die. I love the dark pastel shades.

I always feel excited too when seeds start to show through - every time it's the same so I know how you feel, Jacque. Hope they continue to do well.
