So ive potted up since planting from feb- morning glory, sweet peas and something else that i didnt tag so not sure what they are but are doing good. Sweet peas im hoping are guna survive the weather as theyre out in a container, i murdered about six morning glory but about 4 are starting to strangle theirselves and my blinds on my windowsill-where do i put them next? Also got a pot with 3 of someting else and a stray still in the prop. which i also didnt tag so could be either delphinium, echinacea or gaillardia. Theyre quite tall and straight so maybe delph. ?? doing ok though. Echinacea and gaillardia are really pretty so hope they work! I put some nasturtium staight into a hanging basket from the prop. and is hung mainly in my kitchen but outside when the sun peeps out, they havent got much bigger but are getting new leaves so unsure whether theyre ok. The 3 trays on my kitchen sill i refilled with lupins, pansies and aubrietia, theyre doing ok and think theyre needing potting up now. Dont know where theyre all going to go inside-note to self- dont sow 10 whole packets! Think ive already used 3 giant bags of compost! So ultimately i think i need to 1) sow less, and in rows 2) transplant into pots when a few inch tall 3) keep indoors til atleast end of may ??? All advice appreciated! :D

Leigh if you are still growing your Swet Peas and haven yet planted them out you may like to look at my picture of the Sweet Pea Wigwam I made for mine. very simple to make and works really well, you can make a smaller version if needed to suit your sitiation ;0)

Have you got a greenhouse Leigh? If not might be best to invest in one of the little 4 shelf ones you can get, that way you will have somewhere to put all your seedlings before planting them out, just gives them a little time to adjust to outside. Lots of places have them on offer or try ebay :-) P.S you might need 2, Lol.
