I sowed tithonia, cornflower, nasturtiums, ammi majus, 3 lots of self saved hollyhocks, and both red and blue flax. Actually I mixed them in a dish and scattered them in all the bare patches in the border while it was raining yesterday, so they would be well watered down into the soil. They can either grow or do the other thing, whichever they choose.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land
Endless wonder.

Today I've gone through my flower seed box and had a mad sowing session of all the old seeds and open packs.
I've sown borage, cerinthe, linaria, nemesia, mina lobata, campanula, aquilegia, clarkia, phlox, verbscum, dianthus and osteospermum.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

Thanks I have had them in the propagator with a lid but covered with a little compost. Will resow again and put vermiculite on the top. On the plus side at leat my nicotiana have started to come through and signs of a tiny aquilegia seedling appearing after I had the seeds in the fridge for weeks the. Put into the propagator.

I already sowed some, red coloured and new to me. Have come up OK, but the true leaves on each plant apart from one are very pale, almost white. No idea what they are going to do, so second batch sown.Mostly flowers, some fruit and veg, at the seaside in Edinburgh.

How strange to have such pale leaves, hope they grow on ok regardless.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
