  • It looks like a nice greenhouse. Not sure my budget would extend to far. I might just buy the wooden mini greenhouse in aldi and hope to get a few seasons out of it for seedlings. My gaura and echinacea seedlings finally have some true leaves image

  • That's a shame aym.  Mine are still very small still. Mine are Gaura Bride also. I sowed them all and I think all germinated. Actually all my seeds from see seedaholic have been great at germinating so far. I don't have much space for a large greenhouse so don't mind the mini one for now. I have way too many cosmos seeds that I haven't sown yet. Packs of 500 seeds are a bit much image

    Damping off is much more common in seeds sown early, especially those that bolt and those that are kept covered for too long.

    still a bit leggy but much better to the ones I potted on which I`ve now binned. I left these ones in situ and they have developed 10x better ! 

    hopefully these will full grow, lesson learnt ! dont sow too early

    You are all doing so great, I haven't even started mine yet image

  • I only sowed my first seeds this weekend, I find if I start too early & the weather turns again in late spring then I have nowhere to move things on to. We are not all like Monty on the telly with 3 greenhouses and a range of cold frames! (Just jealous I don't have the room!)
