    I get an error when clicking those pics but I copied and pasted them into an image viewer so I could zoom-in and think they are possibly forget-me-nots (Myosotis.)

    That's my thought too Bob image

    I've looked at forget me not pics and not sure they look the same but i'm new at growing.

    I've found this on google image of a Myosotis and does look like it but none of mine have hairs like that

    f-m-n leaves are indeed very slightly hairy, so they may be something else.  Might be worth re-potting as they look like they have been in that compost a while and may be a bit nutrient-starved, whatever they turn out to be.  It'll be easier to tell when they've grown a bit. image

    Cheers Bob, not repotted them since last year so that will be my next port of call.

    Do some forget me nots have red stems? Mine don't look like that

    You can get pink Mysotis - think they can have reddish stems.

    Most of these are in 3 inch pots at the moment, how big do plants have to be before moving to bigger pots. I only started growing my own plants  summer last year, these were my first seeds i have grown.

    If these are forget me nots they'll flower soon and then die, They're biennials. 

    Can you plant them out?, they'd look nice around spring shrubs.

    If the pots are full of root they need potting onimage
