Free echinacea seeds

  I sowed mine in the last couple of weeks - both this year's free pack and last year's free pack (which I never got round to sowing last year). They were on a north-west facing windowsill that stays around 15-20 degrees.  Both germinated in a matter of days; same for the dahlias we received last month.

  Dahlias have germinated fine alongside on windowsill in conservatory. Nothing in echinacea tray 😩

  The echinacea took about a week longer than the dahlia to germinate.  They are still tiny compared to the dahlias though.

  Put both my echinacea and dahlia same time, dahlia's are well up, echinacea are just showing.

  I've planted both and they both germinated too, Echinacea seem to be pretty slow growers, but they're getting there.  Mine were in a seed propagator on my bedroom window!

  My small concervatory has been absolutly full of plants the dalhia'a have done especially

  well. I have never grown from seed before, now they need to go out before they outgrow the pots. I have been giving pepper plants to anyone who will take them. I would not have bothered if it wasnt for the free seeds from Gardeners world. it has sparked my interest in gardening/
