okay, so the time of year has come around again to sow seeds and think of the next season 22 months ago

the garden is half bathed by sunlight and it’s only a couple of degrees above freezing, plants have started to break through because of the warm spell we have had and are on hold again…

I have soaked and sown 4 types (x 7 seeds) of sweetpea in the large warmed propagator and I can see at least one is starting to come up after 3 days

I can fit in 20 other 3 inch pots so I am going to sow a sprinking of 20 different seeds and start growing them from today

I have a large stack of seed packets at my side which I have chosen to go in…

forget-me-not
Echinacea
Candytuft (dwarf mix)
Snapdragons (illumination mix)
Red hot poker (flamenco)
Cobaea (cathederal bells)
Lupin (Russel Mixed)
Hollyhock (charters mixed)
Aquilegia (long spurred hybrids)
Ganzia (Sunshine mixed)
Cosmos (Versailles tetra & gazebo mixed)
Statice
Borage
Cineraria Maritima (silverdust)
English Lavender
Paeony Black Poppy
Purple Splendour
Livingstone daisy
Ox eye daisy
Salvia

I think that will keep me going for a bit

I will sow only a few in each pot…because if you think about it, I only realy need to have 5 seedings from each pot and I have a 100 plants under my care and I do not want to be giving myself a huge head ache of having to prick out and pot on thousands of plants!!

I do have about another dozen seed packets to sow after that, but they are ones that either need to be sown from March, or can be sown direct (phew! less work!)

I am excited! I live for my gardening and have felt a little blue over the winter…but soon it will be spring

right…must get on and sew some seeds.

I want to put my passion flower out and up against the potting shed, but the wind is known to thunder through our garden and we are due for a sharp change in weather in next couple of days, and i’m buggered if i am going to bring on my triffid of a plant with its lushious leaves and splendid flowers and let the weather roger it!!!!
