      7 will do it nicely - 6 around the side and one in centre. Pics when they're in bloom please!

      Good morning Nick,
      I think I read somewhere in GC that the petunia seedlings are minute. Were they? How many did you prick out and what clours? Red, white and blue???

        Uuumm, perhaps he's a little too enthusiastic to assist with the pricking out as well Nick. I love a riot of mixed colours anyway. I wanted to download a piccie of some flowers that I took in France but can't get it to work. I will try later.
