TCbythesea did you have your sunflowers indoors? I sowed some in loo roll middles put them in the grow house been in there a few days and nothing happening, so decided to bring them back indoors want them to germinate
Lyn your seedlings all look brilliant nice lots of growth, are they in a green house?
think next week I will start my zinnias off and dahlias
My grand-daughter gave me a packet of morning glory as part of my (grand) mother's day gift. The 8 seeds have all germinated. 7 are doing very well, but one is 'failing to thrive'. It's about 1/4 the size of the others, and not looking very happy. I keep giving it words of encouragement, and hope it survives,poor little thing!
I bought a couple of those paper discs with seeds in, and potted them up in hanging baskets. They have both started growing, after only a week. One in particular looks as though it is going to make a really good display. Not bad for 99p each. Much cheaper than buying plants, which I usually do.
Hey GG my sunflowers have begun to germinate but very sporadic, hope they all catch up.
2nd lot of zinnias will go in next week I think
looking good Lyn. I used those seed discs and had a good display, the blue coloured one wasn't as good as the yellow coloured one though - did save an awful lot of messing about
G'luck Flower. I hope they perform for you second time around. Keep us posted on how you get on
PS: Is it just me being a dufus or does the quote thingy not work on this forum?

My seeds are all started off in the kitchen then once they are up they go in the conservatory, when they are big enough to be pricked out they go to the greenhouse, far too cold at nights for seeds yet.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Mistwalker my quote does not work has not for a while now should let the tech team know

Thanks Lyn, I have one big tray of lots of cells with seed in my grow house been in there a few days, think I will need to find somewhere indoors for them to grow as you say too cold out in gh - want them to germinate
