Re: My pathetic attempt at growing seeds!

Re: My pathetic attempt at growing seeds!


I only know Donna as I came across the other thread where you posted up the names of the seeds!!! lol

I think Impatiens are also known as buzzy lizzies They look REALLY good Donna!!!

You can also use toilet roll and kitchen towel innards for pots

lol also with the toilet roll and kitchen towel innards if you want to plant any of these straight into your garden or say bigger pots you can, no need to remove from the tubes, as the cardboard will breakdown in the soil over time

This is an experiment Emma!!!

If I can get some in my garden and growing in the summer and making it look pretty then there will be no stopping me next year!!

However, if they all die then that will be the end of it
