    Has anyone tried growing pinks from seed? Is it - relatively - easy? I'd like quite a few and don't have any at the moment so can't try cuttings.

        Hi JJ,

        Now is the perfect time to sow any of the Dianthus family ( Carnations, Pinks, Sweet Williams, Lychnis).

        Just grow them on and plant out in their permanent positions around Sept/ Oct.

        They're really easy, no fuss plants to grow.

          A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
