Looking good hollie, handy having that seed house. I'm growing scabious for the first time, is it an easy grow?
Wow nutcutlet . You've got loads, you must have a proper greenhouse. They look healthy and well established, when did you start sowing?
Looks like you're using grit/vermiculite. I considered buying some vermiculite for my no cover seeds, I've never used it before. Is it beneficial and worth it? For aubretia and some half hardy annuals.
I always sow too much stuff Kitty. I even sow seeds from my own plants, those that would divide and give me flowers more quickly
I've used vermiculite this year, I prefer grit really but it's hard to come by round here, all too big. Grit prevents algae better than anything else for slow germinators. 99% of my stuff is hardy, sown fresh and either germinated last autumn or is germinating now. Some things are in those pots for months and moss/algae can be a problem. The aquilegias were sown at new year in the GH
I know little about half hardies and tenders. Cosmos germinate easily and someone gave me those seeds. I think aubrieta is easy as well, I have grown that, though there doesn't appear to be any in the garden now. Overtaken by weeds probably
The GH is big and provides shelter but isn't heated and the door is always open.

I nearly took some photos.
But I put the camera on charge instead
I'd take some with the phone but I don't know how to get them out and onto here
I'll get them eventually

Kitty that is well organised, Great idea to see everyone's seedlings, I'm still behind with seeds, I have some growing but still a lot to do.
I love growing from seed, only thing is knowing when you have to many seeds
Will be great getting people's advice and seeing other's seedlings.
Field scabious, thank you Fishy
Some digitalis, ferruginea I think, Centauea macrocarpa, who sent me those?
Blushed Molly, fidget's special Molly the Witch. Yes, I can see that willowherb
Lots of stuff, aquilegias, aconitums
More aquilegias
White cosmos, black scabious and 3 species of clematis

hollie hock that's handy having a seed house, your seedlings are looking great, I have to get more done today, I still have loads left to do.
Blimey nut you have been busy, you have loads there, they look really great, wish I was that organised.
What a nice thread, thanks for sharing the pics
These are my indoor seeds thus far, got a couple of pots waiting to hatch and will be sowing some bedding this weekend.
A few that wouldn't upload but just containing buckshees, nowt special
Dotted around the garden in pots I've got arabis, sea thrift, aconitum various and some other things.
Lorna, I wish I was that organised as well
Either the seedlings or the garden will be out of control in a month or so. probably both
