1 dahlia up, 3 tithonias & 1 salpiglossis - they need dark to germinate, bit of a challenge as I have them in a tray with others that need light, so I've just put a black strip across their row Only the heliotrope & coleus haven't appeared at the moment, still hopeful.

The foxgloves I sowed earlier in the year germinated well so I've moved a few of them to different areas.
I sowed my Sweetpea last weekend, I usually do them around the time of Hannah's birthday. I've only just taken down this years, so pretty much a full year in my care.

For my birthday in Jan, Oliver and Faye bought me one of those pink pots you see in the supermarkets with compost and seeds in, They got me dwarf sweet peas, I've sown them those morning, 5 seeds does seem a bit mean as I know they aren't cheap.

Quite a few of our seedlings have germinated now and I'm taking Rosefriend advice and spraying rather then watering some of the small ones at least.

Cosmos, tithonia & coleus are up, no sign of the cleome, though that was old seed & they are temperamental.
