Annuals (Window Box) Help Please?

Petunias are now flowering, so I let them at this stage yes?

 

Lottie, if your plants look nice and bushy then yes. If they are lanky, thin,,etc., then pinch out buds and flowers. This puts energy into them to produce more flowers a little later

I have planted out cosmos plants which were pinched back in the earlier stages; even now I pinched them back again. Makes the plants more self supporting and impressive

 

Thanks, I'm not entirely sure what they should look like at this stage...

 

Lottie, its all a learning curve. They will be fine anyway if you dont overwater, over fuss or let them dry out

 

They're still alive anyway hurrah! lol

 

Good news Lottie

 

I’m pretty pleased with them so far - they only really get the sun until noon

 

Lottie you should be well pleased with yourself they look and your window box looks very unusual to the standard ones you see

 

@Lottie222 That looks stunning! You should be very pleased with yourself. Not only are they not dead, but they look healthy and happy. Well done! I'm feeling inspired to think about a windowbox outside my kitchen now....

 

I think she's done well with them mate and the box looks lovely

 

Very pretty @Lottie222 . The colours sit well with the white planter.

 

Aw thanks so much!
I took my teen daughter shopping - hence the black and white , I only got the colours in under duress lol

 

Duress or not Lottie they look lovely mate ….you daughter should put you under more duress

 

Hi all - one of my plants looks mega dusty, is it Sick pls? Maybe some sort of fungus?

 

Hello stranger ...looks like some form of fungus to me anyway but get a clean cloth and add some milk to it and wipe the leaf to see if it is dust first Lottie
