    Hi

    You could move them to somewhere hotter/cooler and see, may just be conditons aren't quite right

    I keep my seed compost in kitchen image so it is room temp - do have a big kitchen though!

    Always use room temp water as well, didn't used to but I read it somewhere and it does seem to make a difference.

     

  • Ok I'll give them a chance in small propagator with just room heat not heated propagator. I know they were a freebie but I would like to nurture them a little.image

    Pricked out the cornflowers and physallis, 

    Chatted to a neighbour who is also attemping a cut flower patch this year and we are going to swap plants - goodoh!!

  • What ever you do if you sow margaritas don't let them self seedimage  They are smashing big white daisies and I had vases full all season.BUT!!!I didn't pick all the flowers and this spring I have seedlings everywhere  ,every scrap of spare soil,in the veg beds,and even around any of the potted shrubs nightmareimage (if only all my other platelets were as good)
