Lobelia , String of Pearls

Good luck with your Lobelia!
that looks like a good idea. did you put holes in the bottom for drainage?
let us know how you get on - i sowed those same seeds yesterday ;o) (i love amateur gardening free seeds)

Oh ! no ! I didnt put any drainage holes in I forgot , lol , but the one mistake I made a couple of year ago with Lobelia was I made them too wet and they all died , last year I just lightly misted them when they started to look dry and they all grew so I think I will do that this year again .

what a great idea for recycling your egg cartons

I love this idea, Weemamabell! Will be trying this with my lobelia and alyssum. Many thanx for sharing this.

Great idea im all 4recycling,The plants will be so easy2get out cartoon2 : )

For many years I have been recycling my egg-boxes:
the paper-based ones I use first to sit seed potatoes in when chitting them, then they are used again to grow seeds. The seedlings' roots do not need to be disturbed when they are potted on, the carton section is repotted too.
The plastic ones are used as propagator covers for seeds grown in egg boxes, thereafter they make excellent disposable paint-mixing palettes for children.

Gr8 tips, Xela, Thank You.
