Luke, not sure what Choccamocca will look like, not grown it before. I am hoping if will bring a couple of beds together. On one side there will be oranges and yellows and the other side burgundy's and pinks. I can see it all in my head but reality is a totally different thing.
Love the look of your greenhouse Nooze, I hadn't got room for a decent size one but I have to say it does concerntrate the mind when you plant seeds. I have quite a small garden so I only plant about 10 seeds of any larger plants as even if I only get a 50% survival rate its unlikely I would need any more. Obviously I plant more beeding plants. So far I have only discarded a few wallflowers so dont feel too guilty.
This is my first year at greenhouse gardening....I bought 2 cukes 2 tomatoes and a sweet banana chilli they have romped around the GH and produced abundantly to my surprise. The rest is all by accident.....a red pelargonium shot its roots out the pot and into the soil and has now filled up one side of the floor area,..... it's beautiful. The same thing happened to an overwintered Osteospermum and an Argyranthemum and they have filled the corner by the door and are covered in flowers .I grew a pick as you go Lettuce for the Tortoise and some supersized Dandelions which have done very well for her . A red campion took up residence and filled the front window opposite the osteo and argy it was 5 feet tall at its best but I removed it when it got manky looking. I have had several comments on how pretty it all looks....the red campion and dandelions raised a few eyebrows !
