No Sanjy, no propagator or dark, as you say, loads of them, maybe some sowed them a bit too early, I sowed at the end of March, or maybe just into April,
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
I sowed mine about 2 or 3 weeks ago directly into a seed bed. They appear to be doing ok. I planted them with some Californian Poppies, which do appear to be doing slightly better.
Thanks everyone- thought I was the only one! Mine look very sorry for themselves - planted out 25th May and not really growing plus brown leaves. 2 eaten by a greedy slug!
When I think about it it seems it must be the cooler spring we've been having- its really affected my tomatos too
Kinda had to start planting out though as the windowsills and cold frame were looking like jungles.

We're just having a terrible spring...
