Seed sowing today
15 comments
Spent the lovely sunny afternoon pottering in my shedhouse sowing flower seeds – sweet peas, cosmos, asters and lobelia not tried this before i usually get them as plugs or trays but hey if it works then a packet of seeds is way cheaper.
Another pretty little flower braving the cold !

Seeds are considerably cheaper than plugs but you need patience while they grow! Pretty little flower there

You get a good feeling of satisfaction when they are ones own, its time consuming whilst pricking them out but well worth it, I call it my thinking job, lol...

Oooh good luck with your seeds. A fairly time consuming job but when it works I don't think theres anything quite like it.

I suppose it's too early to sow seeds in an unheated summerhouse, though when the sun is out it gets very warm.

Bilbo, Ginellie I've got my lobelia going, I've put them in an unheated propagator by the window in my room. Planted the seeds last week. They've germinated really well. Not sure how many I've sown but theres quite a few come up. Lol I now know I'm not very good at sowing fine seed :))

Lol Bilbo they are amazingly small aren't they. Glad they germinated so well for you :))
Hope you managed to sow the seeds a little better than me. I've got about 20 seedlings in a space the size of a 50p lol. May have got that a tad wrong me thinks :P
