Not today but last few days. Family affair me, our 8 year old daughter and daddy. Sowed Cerinthe, marigolds, sweet peas, astrantia, achellia, polyanthus. Think that is it. We're doing a cut flower allotment. 😊

Sowed. Lobelia, rudbeckia, marigolds, cleome, calendula, more antirrhinum, tithonia and am soaking some sweetpeas

[mothhawk]

French marigolds and geum sown, 3 lots of sweet peas put to soak.

[Mark Rand]

Two mixes of sweet peas that had been soaked. One showy, one scented. More than I need, but I can always trim them down.

More the merrier I say, Mark

Extras can always be shoved in odd spaces to ramble away on their own and surprise you later with unexpected scent. You can never have too many sweet peas.

Sowed chitted sweet peas, mammoth scarlet and old spice.

Another big session. Trying to use up old seed and some new seed.. Candytuft, aquilegia, Snapdragon, gomphrena, sunflowers, night scented stock, sultan something, sure there was something else. More sowing tomorrow.

[mothhawk]

Sowed 3 different cosmos - candyfloss pink, candyfloss white, and some old Purity white seed. Also potted on the french marigolds seedlings sown on 29th Feb, which have been outside under a cloche for just over a week. The geum sown at the same time have finally started to come up, but they are still at the seed leaf stage barely off the surface of the compost. Talk about tortoise and hare! I hope they get a move on now.

Sowed rhodochiton atrosanguineus, thunbergia, again (I sow it every year and have never had a single seed germinate).
Cobaea scandens alba and am soaking mina lobata to sow tomorrow.
