Hello just wondering if anyone started there cosmos seeds yet or is it still too early?
I have the new yellow cosmos and mixed colours to grow

I have, I put the pot a covered tray in the cold GH. It usually works OK
In the sticks near Peterborough
Too early for me, here.

I sowed mine today. Heated greenhouse so frost free and they are on a heated tray. I always like to pinch them out so the earlier the better.
I planted some in February and they are about 3 to 4 inches tall already - I can't remember if I have to nip the tops off them - they look healthy enough - and I have planted more since which are just beginning to form their first leaf. I grew them last year for the first time and was bowled over by their colour - lasting qualities and easy to grow.
I sowed some cheap lidl cosmos mix seeds on Sunday just gone. at 29p I thought I can risk the impatience. I'm in Suffolk in a Suntrap sheltered walled garden, they are in the plastic greenhouse thingy, fingers crossed!
I've got mine on the list for May - probs why they're always flowering in Nov
The seeds I ordered haven't arrived yet.
I sowed mine yesterday, they are on a window sill, but soon I will get the heating organised in the greenhouse. I have heated mats, a cable in sand and 3 electric propagators (which are also on the window sill at the moments with tomatoes and other seeds in them).
