    Hello everybody

    Me and my partner have decided to go to Canada next week for 2 weeks. Was wondering whether it would be too late to start sowing all my seeds when i got back on the 2nd April, because if i start them now i have no one to keep a eye on them :( . will be sowing for the first time :eek: New gardener begonias, geranium, petunia, gazania and dahlia. Any advise will be welcomed [​IMG]

    I'd say waiting till you get back is the safer option - the seeds will still germinate, etc - they'll just be a little behind ones sown before - but better that than neglected and dead! ;)

    No it's not too late, but begonias and geraniums might be ready later than the others.I still sow petunias beginning of may and plant out mid june. As Nixon says better than dead. [​IMG]
