      Welcome to Gardeners Corner. Now. SLOW DOWN. Top marks for your enthusiasm. Georgia you are trying too hard. Cut back on what you are growing. OK. compile a list of what you want to grow. Now read throgh that list an subdivide into groups. This is a decorative plant. This is a vegetable. ASk yourself. Do I really need to start veggies off in trays or pots. Vegis will be at their best if sown into the open ground. Now to the containers. I've heard of egg trays being used. Toilet roll centers being used for starting sweetpeas off, yourgat pots etc. Take your pick. My advice at this stage is. Reduce your growing list. Be selective and grow and learn at a steady pace.

              last year I bought a sunflower in a pot from Morrisons for £1.50. It was lovely. It didn't last long.
