goldfinch seeds

Good luck with these, San :o)

These will be a nice surprise when they flower San :)

thanx TT and not sure how long it takes to grow one of these but maybe next year who knows,, we will see jacque :o)

ah sandra well done it's the best feeling when we see signs of life like this - its still a novelty to me

thanx angie yes it is a great feeling, must keep my eye on them with watering

Ive missed something here what are they? can see no beak or wings whatever they are they look strong

lol bjs,, they are goldfinch seedling, i have the plant page 9 of my pics, no wings or beak just the name of plant not birdy

Great, hows you lettuce doing.

doing well carol, will take a pic if i get chance 2moz ok

Got some more lettuce seeds if you wont them, there spicey so i'm not that keen.

thanx carol but i cant eat spicy with my dodgy tum, nice of you to offer :o)

Its ok But your Baz might like it.

what baz eat rabbit food lol, carol wash your mouth out lol

My dad use to call salads rabbit food.

i love it :o) salads

So do i.

and even stranger, rabbits get a runny tummy if they eat lettuce!

I've heard that before, mind you my goldfish like a bit of lettuce.

yes the carp family are happy to munch on 'soft' leaves.

Glad Bjs brought that up. I was feeling a bit confused too! Never heard of Goldfinch as a plant, just had a look on your pics and might give it a go.
What is it with men and rabbit food? They seem to like growing veg but not eating it!

so goldfinch is a broom. it will take about 3yrs to come to flowering size. they may be nothing like the goldfinch parent. ooh the suspene. can you wait that long sanbaz? :o)

thanks for the info sea... well ive started it so will carry it out, maybe i should feed it steroids lol

Cytisus I might have known! I agree with Seaburngirl it will take 3 years ,one thing to add watch out for slugs and snails they love them, they strip the outer skin of the stem and that is good by to the plant.
If you want more C.Goldfinch you are better off taking cuttings, I can tell you how if you want to know

i read up on that after reading about planting seeds, was just experimenting really, thanx Bjs, they are lovely though and if they work its a bonus and if not ive lost nothing really :o)

You had me going there. I thought Goldfinches were birds , I,d never heard of anyone growing them before ......LOL.......

lol amy, not one of my jokes this time, yes not the bird type, the plant which is a broom

Well done and good luck with them Sandra .. :o)

thanx amy :o)
