I wasn't sure whether to sow the sweet peas straight outside in a pot but I can't seem to find the pot that I put them in last year so ended up sowing them indoors....

Is there anything quite as wonderful as growing from seed?

I've sown quite a lot this year after having a few years of only growing tomatoes and cucumbers from seed, no flowers aside from French marigolds. So I've gone a bit mad....these are the ones I've sown. I have other stuff but they have a good expiry so they may be used for autumn sowing...or for next year. Or April.....
Chiltern seed
Lysimachia atropurpura 'Beaujolais '
Kirengeshoma palmata
Thalictrum aquilegifolium
Gaura lindheimeri 'summer breeze'
Rudbeckia hirta 'Cherokee Sunset'
Zaluzainska capensis 'midnight candy's
Sarah Raven
Antirrhinum'liberty classic crimson'
Verbena rigida
Scabiosa atropurpurea 'salmon pink's
Cosmos bipinnatus : dwarf sensation white, sonata carmine
Larkspur 'white king'
Cleome spinoza 'violet queen's
Calendula officials 'Indian Prince'
Gypsophylla elegant 'Covent garden's
Salvia farinacea 'victoria'
Just seed:
Zinnias dahlia flowered mixed
T&M :
Mecenopsis
Tagettes starfire mixed
Theres more but I cant remember what...another zinnia...another cosmos...then there are all the vegetables...where I'm going to put them I don't know! I've got quite a lot of germination already, the Sarah Ravrn stuff was sown at the end of February and much of those have germinated already. I only put the chiltern seeds in a week or so ago...

Some of the candelabra primula seeds I baggied 26/2/19 had germinated so I pricked those out, also several of the dierama slieve donard hybrids are up. Happy days.

Gaura, lemongrass and pepper seeds have germinated. I think that the kirengeshoma pot looked like it had a bit of white mould growing on it..so I've whisked that pot out and resown a fresh pot with the rest of the seed. I couldn't find any cheshunt compound dagnamit....anybody else use it to prevent damping off?

Thanks for that Tig , I've got loads of cinnamon  I've used it quite sparingly. I did some pricking out today, calendula, mimulus, gypsophila and zinnias...still got quite a lot of seedlings that are too small to prick out. ![]()  Please note sophisticated shading...Bless the Guardian.... |

Put the seeds to soak in lukewarm water for 12 hours, that way you'll have to sow them or they'll rot!  |

The sweetpeas are just starting to poke through. My mind has gone blank....how many sets of leaves do we leave before we pinch the tops off? |

I wait until the seedlings are at least 4" tall, sometimes nearer to 6" Missredhead, |

I've used it quite sparingly.
