Calendula seeds came up 2 days ago and the catananche is up today. Put the calendula outside under a cloche, also the morning glory seedlings as they are growing really fast indoors.

Got some clarkia and larkspur to sow this week.

Only just seen this -I always post in the WIST thread! Hollyhocks, snaps, French marigolds and nasturtiums

[mothhawk]

Not seeds exactly, but my young trailing fuchsias were getting too leggy on the windowsill, so I've just taken 30 cuttings. I've got till June to work out where I'm going to put them all.

I do that Mothhawk - get loads of plants/bulbs/seedlings then realise my allotment is only so big

Today I sowed Calendula 'Indian Prince' and French Marigold 'La Bamba'


Also planted out LOADS of ground cover, perennials, bulbs etc - it's been a fun day

Same here Gillykat, I get carried away when sowing seeds, but I can nearly always find a home for surpluss , with family or gardening friends��

Hope I've done the quote bit correctly, first time I've done it.!

Sowed orange scented thyme (thanks again VC ) last Tuesday in the prop on the windowsill. Today they are up Now it's a question of keeping the tiny things going and hoping they don't expire.
Scattered clarkia and larkspur on a patch in the garden, with some phacelia too. Little green seedlings coming up - but the pair of wood pigeons that hoover up fallen seeds from the bird feeders keep walking all over them
