What Flower seeds are you sowing now

[Ladygardener]

I've sown a load of sunflower seeds along with some more Eschscholzia californica, some of last years will bloom for this year again and some I sowed last autumn will to but I like to keep them going. A lot of the sunflower seed pks had already been opened so I'm not sure how viable they will be but we'll see.

I have one marigold up from the first sowing, the zinnias are doing well too in the WIG.

[Barbara]

I've gone through seed packets and sown into the garden any that were out of date, we'll see what we get.

That's a good idea, I might do something similar.

[Barbara]

I sowed some Salvia a couple of days ago, I popped them in the propagater last night and this morning they are up, I don't think I said I did marigolds a week ago and they are on the kitchen window sill and are up too.

[Barbara]

I've done 40 wallflowers.

[Ladygardener]

I've sowed the Poppy "Laurens Grape" that was part of my prize last year, thank you again Jasmine. I've also direct sown some more peas. Jenny has sown Carrots and Parsnip. I've sprinkled a pk of Malope and some Eschscholzia californica although I already have some growing and some seedlings already.

[Barbara]

I've sown salvia this afternoon.

[Ladygardener]

I sprinkled a few pollinator friendly seeds in a bare patch of soil, they were from an opened packet so I'm not sure if anything will come of them. I need to remember to keep them watered at least.

[Barbara]

I've gathered the dried sweet peas and sown them, I'll see how they get on, I usually wait till spring, but fancied a change this year,

[Ladygardener]

I've been shaking half empty packets of hardy annuals around several places in the garden. I'm going to have a look this week in the seed boxes and see what else we can sow.

[Ladygardener]

We always sow our sweetpea on or around Hannah's birthday on 5th october so this year is no different. I do think they make much stronger plants than those we sow in later winter / early springtime.

[Barbara]

I've sown viola today, I think I'll have to re=sow sweet peas, they didn't get watered when the weather was bad and are completely dried out.

[Barbara]

I got the propagator down and I've sown rudbeckia, black eyed Susan, and cosmos, peppermint rock. and put them in, I've sown sweet peas and they are on the cupboard

[Barbara]

The sweet peas are up and looking good, today I've done pinks, gaillardia and marigold. they are all on the kitchen windowsill.

[Ladygardener]

I sowed Echium "Blue Bedder" which I grow most year, left them outside but in a box with a glass roof on it and they've germinated.

[Barbara]

I've sown cosmos peppermint rock, in a pot in a plastic bag and put them on the front window sill.

[Barbara]

I sowed Tithonia today in the GH on the allotments, and sunflowers at home in the back room.

The ''blue bedder '' Rita, do they transplant OK ,   because I have a packet of the seeds and it says to sow where they are to grow.

[Ladygardener]

They grow very well where they're sown Barbara, that's what I normally do but this year we're making a bit of a flower patch where the new fruit trees were planted so I sowed them into cells and hope to plant the whole cell out in bunches if you know what I mean. They're a fabulous little flower, we've grown them for years and pollinators love them.

[Barbara]

Minature sunflowers in some pots.

[Barbara]

The tall sunflowers were a no-show so I sowed some more this morning

[Barbara]

I've sown seeds into the beds in the back garden today, cornflowers, calendula, Poppies, Echium, and planted out my sweet peas.

[Tig]

I've sown a few rainbow mix coleus and zinner earlybird, was going to sow some tithonias but can't find the seed packet.

[Jasmine]

I've sown Courgette Zucchini, Sunflower Oranges and Lemons, Calendula Sherbet Fizz and Cosmos Candyfloss.

[Tig]

As I had some spare cells after transplanting my plugs I sowed a few tithonia and sunflowers. May come to nothing without any heat but who knows.

[Ladygardener]

I'd sown some of last years Rose Picotee Cosmos and they're up and transferred into individual pots. These were from Jasmine for one of the competitions, thank you. We sowed some last year as well and they were lovely. Also up at the moment are some Dahlia and Zinnia.

[Barbara]

I had to resow tall sunflowers, the first lot didn't come, but all the mini ones did.

[Barbara]

I sowed straight into the beds larkspur, cornflowers, multi headed sunflowers and poppies, fingers crossed for a bright bed this summer.

[Ladygardener]

My Sunflowers which I sowed into cells and left sitting outside are starting to germinate, they were from some seeds I saved from last year's flowers. Most of them went to the birds but I did hang onto a few. Also up and going are the Night Scented Stock I sowed into a bowl shaped container and left outside but covered each night with glass. An annual flower mix is starting to sprout now as well, also left outside to germinate.

Yesterday I sowed some Cornflower Blue Ball and Campanula carpatica blue. These I'll keep inside until they germinate.
