  • sowed my onion, cabbage and leek seed in unheated propagators on 11/ feb and they are all starting to appear now. Yipee!

  • Hi,



    I have sown onions in late January, and sweet peas, tomatoes, aubergines and red onions this week.



    Can't wait for spring!

    Well if I were you I would bring seed packet back to shop where you bought or send it to seed company for a refund the seed is guaranteed to germinate after that its up to you to keep them growing

    Lupin, Clivia, Monarda, Gerbera & Jatropha Podagrica sown this week.

  • I'd never heard of Jatropha podatrica Mark so googled it, what a strange plant,  have you grown it before?  What about Monarda, how long does take to get to flowering size and is it reasonably easy from seed?

    No I haven't grown it before but it looks an interesting plant.

    As for Monarda, never grown it from seed before so will have to wait & see.

  • I grew Monarda from seed last year and it was really easy - they are now clumping up nicely in the beds around my patio.
