Seems a lot of my seeds are spritting, it's a lovely sight isn't it.

Maybe I should hold off planting things outside as it's going to be cold next week?

I did some more planting/potting the other day....

Petunias - couldn't believe how small the seeds are!! Apparently one packet had something like 850 seeds and the other 650, so I think we should get a good few from that little lot!

Sunflowers - love them so potted a few up.

Beetroot and carrots - did well with beets and carrots last year )eat(

Courgettes - potted some more as my last seeds didn't sprout for some reason?

The seedlings are all doing well - even my sweetcorn :-D . Still holding off putting them outside for a bit though )t'

Awww cool, I'm made up that I've inspired you AmLady )t' :-D

I only started growing things properly last year, the lovely folks here on the Lane really inspired me :-D

It's so nice seeing your seeds sprout and grow into something :-D
