    What a lot of seeds Mowgley. Do you put them in a greenhouse? I have planted geraniums which are doing well in my lean to. They were the plants that turned out the best for me last year too.
    Last year I also planted buzy lizzies and lobelia but they didn't grow. I think the lean to was too cold for them.

    This year I have planted peppers and chilli peppers, asters, aquilegia, and petunia with my geraniums so I will have to see what happens.
    Good luck with your seeds.
