There's something about water droplets on flowers or leaves I love to see them.

I will tell Ali as I'm hoping she will have a go. I'm going to try my hand at 2 different flowers from packet seed for next year. Don't know what yet but will have a look when we are next out to seewhat seeds are about. Ali's got to clean the GH out first after the tomato blight but I will have a go.

Actually, why don't I try the sweet pea as she likes them so much! Whaqt do I need to do as I am a novice, remember and you're the expert!

That's cool and yes it works so thanks SB. You're a star!

Worth aving a go even if it doesn't work!

Can I start this week as there are pods out there with, I assume, seeds in?

take your pods off and put them into a dish and in a window where the sun will dry them out OB, then you will be able to see them crack open, the seeds will be black and hard by then, but soak them 24 hours before you sow to help germination
