          Hi Fern, no not opening one..... working in one ☺

          I work for a charity shop and I supply plants virtually all year. We've just sold 10 Maranta's ( Calathea's ) I split from mine, and 6 Zebrina's ( most people call them Tradescantia's ).

          Besides the seeds I've got garden perennials I started off last year which will be sold when they're coming into flower ( Aquilegias, Carnations, Pinks, Lupins etc).

            Well done! I've just bought a maranta leuconeura and love it!....I'm waiting on some Tradescantia cuttings I bought from Etsy. If you want any more seeds for the charity shop let me know. Some of the seeds are a few years out of date but with a good soak they are ok! :dbgrtmb:

              Sown Incarvillea sinensis, Embrothium coccineum, Clianthus puniceus, Rehmannia piasezkii, Aubretia deltoidea, a couple of species Aquilegia and half dozen Salvia species.
              That's it for the moment.

                  I am looking at a bulb catalogue and it has Aquilegia, wild columbine. @NigelJ is the type you're growing from seed a perennial too?

                          Hey @pete and @Upsydaisy I am sitting here trying to picture you smuggling cuttings by hiding them under your jumper :)

                          I'm starting some white nicotiana, white widow and osteospermum seeds today.

                            Hi All

                            I'm new here and a 'Apprentice Garderner' ;) !!
                            I've sowed some seeds last week in a windowsill propagator
                            20 cells (5 x 4 cells)

                            4 cells - million bells calibrachoa
                            12 cells - Petunias
                            4 cells - Giant Sunflowers

                            I'd love to sow more but lack of space, I need lots and lots of plants as I have over 20 hanging baskets to fill and 15 pots

                            I do have a nice little shed, but no light or heat so I'm looking around for ideas on how I can use the shed to grow plants, any ideas which be appreciated :)
