Did a swap with a neighbour who is also having a go at cutting garden. Swapped her blue cornflower seedlings which were ready to go out with some gypsophilia seedlings.
Have now planted the cornflowers - 8 - in a block rather than a row, 2 deep red 'pinks' from cuttings and have my sweet pea support constructed
Oh you're all doing great I've still only sown one tray of cosmos! But they are a good inch high now I'm not very good at potting on! I have them in single cells? Do you think I could get away with leaving them in those till I plant out?
Gonna move my grow house today as too shady and will get some trays sown.
i still need to decide on the raised beds for the cutting flower patch!
Can't make my mind up between gravel boards, new sleepers or scaffold planks
seen a pic in a magazine of what I hope to create, above! X
I like that pic. We are making a similar raised bed (also with blue boards) near my greenhouse. It will have the path to the greenhouse along the front of it, I am planning on grey cobblestone.
I bought some cosmos in cells last year and they were 12" tall with a flower on each. I pinched the tips and planted out and they did very well. So I'm sure yours will be fine.
Beaus mum great idea, I liked the way Rachel de Thame had her raised beds in GW a while back
Been sorting out digging my ground bed adding feed and compost also putting the wire up the fence with some help for the sweet peas. Sorted out my cream bed put canes back in as dividers and re planted a few plants - sweet Williams, mallow and a few others
well just come back from watering station garden sweet peas and there was a nice bunch of tulips but someone had picked them from the garden we saw the evidence, so now we have them in two vases to enjoy ourselves
Any tips for growing statice Hollie Hock? I got some seeds from ebay.
I've sown larkspur direct and some in a tray left outside. I had them in the freezer for a week before hand. I'll update as to how I do. My zinnia and White sunflowers Re up now.
thats a shame about the tulips GG, did you catch them in the act?

So much to do at the moment and so eager to see the results of all this.
I'm sure you are all the same

I have 4 raised beds - they were all for veg but the one is now for cut flowers, 30cm deep and planks
My babies have come outside for a bit of sun and air today
There are more in the GH not quite so advanced
Thank you Charlie for the cosmos assurance and your plans sound lovely and can't wait to see the results
matty your raised beds are great and your babies are doing brilliantly
Moved the grow house and sowed 7 trays and one wooden wine box
Measured up where I hope to have my raised beds but still can not decide on the layout and what wood to use
Main problem is that garden slopes down so need to get it right
Matty2 that look brilliant area and plant
