These are the seedlings in my GH - what I have is a plastic GH inside my 'real' one. Means I can move them out of the house quicker. - well that's the theory
Ammi and a grass called Panicum Frosted explosion - sown 15th Feb
Antirhinum Royal Bride sown 12 feb and mix cosmos sown 25th feb
Omg you are all doing brilliant I still have sown only one tray! Really hoped to get cracking today but it's forecast rain all day and my garden is like a clay mud bath! Thank you for pics everyone x
Do need to go to GH to find some small pots but walking the distance between kitchen door and GH door is not very enticing.
Yesterday I pricked out my zinnias. Did leave me wondering how many flowers you can get from a plant at anyone time. Fairly sure I will need to sow more.
Same with sunflowers, again not sown yet but how many of each variety should I sow, how many flowers AND where on earth will I plant them all
As it is so horrible I may sow a sample of sunflowers to see how long they take to germinate. The propagator is fairly empty waiting for them. That may answer a couple of questions - or not!
Will you do one to a pot? Last year the town next to us used sunflowers in their Street displays. What they did was plant loads behind the street name signs, looked blooming gorgeous. Def gonna have a go this year with growing them on mass
I have planted sunflowers, I had 5 varieties - only 2 were shop bought, rest were 'free with' packets.
I have put them in one of those module trays with 40 planting holes so 8 of each in the hope I get 6. I will pot them on into plastic drinking cups which are about the right size, then plant some into garden but some into containers
That is the plan - with my previous success with them it could be all 'pie in the sky'. I have already said that for wedding next year we may just buy some bunches from the local SM - didn't go down very well with daughter

Wet and cold here too Beaus. Contemplating a bit of digging.....or maybe another hot cuppa!
I vote for a cuppa, put the kettle on
It's grim out there
