Not to be grown list- flowers

[lettucegrow!]

I'd only grow stuff that I absolutely love and want in the garden and don't bother with lobelia the seeds like dust!

Since I've discovered plants on ebay I've grown very few as don't really have the greenhouse room for them especially when they all have to be potted on.
But I've had some wonderful well-priced plants from ebay, some quite unusual ones and you can buy them in small quantities, catalogues often offer plug plants in quantities of 6 +. I love brugmansia and I found a specialist grower so have some potentially very beautiful - to look at and to smell - plants growing away indoors.

Those petunia seeds you sent me (Rainbow mixed f2) - small (9cm) pot, light sprinkle of seeds, fine covering of vermiculite, into the heated prop 16th Feb, germinated by 23rd Feb. The piccy shows the Rainbow mix top right.

Wow they are a successful sowing. Maybe I shouldn't be too scared.

I've just checked my seeds packets. I think you got the name mixed up, Rainbow is the Lobelia and that Petunia is Milliflora Fantasy F1. In the picture, I don't think they're Lobelia though. Both are tiny seeds.

Lol! I won't be allowed the pencil & labels again then! Edit - just checked the diary, the rainbow mixed were ours, yours never germinated.

Oh dear , my seeds are frighteningly tiny...so my fears weren't unfounded. Your Rainbow Petunia are the normal sized flowers so maybe not as tricky as mine. I'm about to sow the flower seeds now but not holding out much hope.

They were the same size seeds, they're like a pinch of ground pepper! Ahhchoo!
