  • Oh right. So it may have been my bad mothering then hehe. I hope so. I really would like some colour from them this year. Im a very impatient gardener hehe

    I sowed some and they do only flower in the second year - I think unless they are small plants by winter they have to grow big enough to produce flowers. You get a surprise when they do flower

  • Hmmm, so maybe Im not that bad then lol image Thats reassuring Gardengirl. I go down to the greenhouse every day telling my seeds to get a wriggly on and grow. My other half just shakes his head at me image

    Im getting better though. I used to poke them to see if they were doing anything lol. I learnt the hard way image

    I'm sure it does. Pity swearing at the weeds doesn't work so well

    That would be good if the weeds went away, probably just makes them grow

    Hi All

    OOOOH garden porn again!!! Every time I come here I spend money lols,, what lovely aquiligias, this year I am growing plants to swap seeds image and tomorrow I'm going to have a go at swearing at my weeds lols image

    May be if you get a bit stressed have a go at swearing at the weeds might help a bit, but the weed may still stay but could go, have a go and tell us if it works.

    That sounds good I will grow plants for swap seed as well. spend lots of money this way.
