So far I've sown Snapdragon 'Twinny Rose', Achillea 'The Pearl', Didiscus and Heliotrope. All of these have been potted on.
I've also sown Lobelia Regatta, Felicia Heterophylla and Osteospermum, the first two have germinated but haven't got their second leaves yet.
I plan to sow Ammi Majus and Diascia as soon as I have room in the propogator.
This is the third year I have grown from seed and absolutely love it, for me it is the best bit of gardening (apart from sitting in the sun and enjoying it)
Here are just a few of my seedlings that I have grown for the summer. I have sown over 500 seeds so far. I know that a lot will not take, but hopefully my garden should be lovely this summer for all the bees and butterflies to enjoy.
Thanks Hollie Hock, I am growing Lupins, Marigolds, Echinachea, Cosmos, Brachycome, Calendula, Asters, Tanacetum, Coreopsis, Zinna's Sweetpea's Nasturtium, Gazamia, Rudbekia, Nigella & Cleome, to name but a few.
Lovely Jacqueline, good to see that you have chosen little pots to sow in, you can get lots of different plants that way, far better than sowing a seed tray full of one variety.

My Didiscus didn't germinate. Do they like being in an electric propagator?

Only a couple for me, almost embarrassing to show but just starting and not much space so what the hell
Cosmos candy stripe on the left and gazania sunshine mix on the right. South facing window and above a radiator.
Should I be pricking out either yet? Then put outside or keep indoors?
