I think you're talking about pinching out to stop the plant from growing taller. Probably much too early to be doing that yet and only important...
Micky you have me convinced to seed a few directly too. I just don't think we have enough growing season but i'll soon find out!! ;)Kristen they...
Have never heard of Scorzonera so I googled it. Interesting. I think next year I'll try that.....have to track down the seeds first.
Yes tomatoes grow well in containers as long as the container is large enough and you keep a close eye on them for watering throughout the season....
I don't have time for them to take a month or more to germinate. I'm in a zone 2 gardening zone so it's a short season and this spring has been so...
I have them in very tall newspaper rolled pots. As soon as they germinate I'll pop them into the ground. It's still been very cold here and...
I've been following threads on growing parsnips and carrots......I had no idea about 90% of what you all have been discussing. This morning I took...
If the sun is brilliant and really hot I would but otherwise not to worry. (has it been in a greenhouse where it's been getting good sunlight...

Great post! I also learned a lot and my dahlias are just getting lovely and big now. I did think the early start would make a...
Why not pot up 2 more seeds, mark carefully and see which comes up first and maybe also see which looks like which for i.d.? Could work?
Here the ground doesn't warm up enough in late spring so I woudn't want to bury mine so deep but I do strip the leaves up to the tip and lay the...
If you're going to grow them in a container it probably won't matter when you harden them off. Hardening off is a big deal if you're going to put...
I've just been reading through this entire thread. So interesting. (where is Dai that he's not here to share with you?) I'll be interested to see...
Your season is far beyond ours. We are still having frost everynight and things are just beginning to grow. Only tulips and daffies with a wee bit...
I'm so cheap than these are the F1's that are so expensive........tee hee!!I will go and pot up a couple extra seeds of each type. Thank you. :)
No rule for how big they should be Caz. Being small is okay.......they have lots of time to grow and produce. Just let them go as they want to and...
