Seeds I have sown today

Think I will sow a late batch tomorrow. There's a nasty cold wind down here as well!

 

Too right there's a nasty cold wind down here!!!!! Haven't been out this year yet without a coat!!!! Usually in our cozzies by now, sunbathing in the back garden........ This time last year we were slapping on the sunblock at a particular Rugby festival my little one plays at - yesterday,at this year's festival, I was just glad someone had given me an old sleeping bag for the dog, as we dragged that out the car and sat huddling under it in the middle of a field in Weybridge....

Now - don't get too excited - but I have 4 - yes 4!!!!!!! Canary Creepers finally decided to make an appearance!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

Still no sign of life from my two Bananas...(quivering bottom lip)...I think I did kill them..

.... but - my Brugmansia has sprouted from the bottom !!!!!

JJordie - The O/H did mention they had done ok last week - bit like my creepers - a last minute dash???

 

Still aint got my verbina through. put some claggy cling film over it yesterday, so it will all probably rot now!

 

Pumpkin seeds planted on 2nd April started shooting in four days - then they all rotted away! :(
Second lot planted are now doing very well so fingers crossed.




HoneyBee - hope your Canary Creepers are doing better than Canaries did in their last game :rolleyes:

they look healthy jjordie.when will you plant them out?

 

Verbina peeping at last - very fast acting cling film!

Also chucked straight into soil some teasles in rough ground, Nigella, rest of the cosmos. godetia and giant icelandic poppy - well we will see what survives.

 

Thanks elainefiz - they won't be planted out until no more frosts! There are 10 plants in all, and perhaps we might use three - haven't got room for any more says o/h.
Others will probably be given away or banished to the compost heap.

 

If anybody is interested here is a good link about the Giant Pumpkins.

Mine are coming on, I've only grown two plants, I'm going to give them the same treatment that I used to use on marrows.
They are about the same size as yours jjordie, mine are now in the cold frame hardening off a bit.

 

jjordie!...I'm in trouble :eek: Afraid I have nothing like those!

 

jjordie..I have one!!!... with only two leaves!
But I expect it will be a champion :rolleyes:

 

Well done you! How many seeds did you plant
i.e. are you expecting more? :D

 

Planted all but four of 'em :rolleyes:

 

Did you give them heat paladin?
