I love growing my plants from seed and each year I have a greenhouse and certain areas in the house jammed to overflowing with sprouting seedlings.
I am in the middle of this years planning, at the moment I have ready and waiting
Antirrhinum, Oenothera, Calendula, Diascia, Eschscholzia,,Amaranths, Rudbeckia, Zinnia, Cleome, Verbena, Godetia, Echinacea, Centaurea, Viola, Larkspur , Marigolds, Sweet peas ......to name but a few!
I am champing at the bit regarding starting off my seed planting. Can anyone advise me which flowers cope best with low light levels. Would a grolux light allow an earlier start?
I have trouble with verbena seed but I know for some people they grow like weeds!
Ive started a few off already. The geraniums are up and don't appear to go going leggy. Sweet peas too. I know it's probably to early but I can't resist!
you can't plant some herbs indoors any time of year (according to the packets anyway)! I've got basil and dill on the go in my heated propogator.
Am planning more sweet peas than ever, got loads of stocks a few lupins and foxgloves all sown last autumn all done fine outside in pots or in what's left of pop up gh! I suppose I should call it a cold frame now! Hoping to have more luck with delphiniums, any advice welcome
