.....that's it really, not much else I can say. I didn't write down the dates they were sown but PE plant was direct sown and the BL's were sown indoors and potted on etc.  they were planted out last month.  I was really looking forward to lots of poached eggs particularly and am really disappointed image Any ideas anyone?

    They should be along soon, they always flower eventually image

    Rake soil, literally throw the seed where you want it to grow, lightly rake in, water and thats it image

    Ah right image I sowed them direct in pots but that's basically what I did, they are in my big planters with my Lillys and have grown brilliantly but just no flowers.

    Well the idea was that while I was waiting for the lillys to flower the bottom would be a mass of yellow and white.......didn't quite go to plan
