Seed Sowing April 2025

Has anyone started sowing any seeds yet?

 

Apart from tomatoes and chillies I was given some half hardy flower seed so have sown them in pots and pricked out a few by now - Cosmos, Thunbergia, marigolds and also some hardy annuals in modules as I have no luck in direct sowing. That's Calendula. Nemophila and Godetia.
I have been bringing in the half hardy ones at night but am hoping the forecast wetter weather will give milder nights.

 

I've just finished! My runners were the last. Although I have a packet of assorted greenhouse and house plant seeds to do I have no more room.

 

Decide to open up my packet of assorted Greenhouse Plants seeds from Chiltern Seeds. It also includes houseplants. There are a couple of large seeds, one of which is covered with a paper sack. Have no idea what they are. I shall start with the larger ones and work down in size. Always love a mystery.

 

Here's some of what I've managed so far.
Echinacea at the back
Then Gaillardia and Erigeron Karvinskianus. I'm very pleased with the Erigeron because the seeds were like dust, and I generally don't do well with small seeds. But then, it's a plant that freely self seeds around gardens, so it should be easy!
In the front is a Cosmos Sulphureus and my first tomato seedlings, Outdoor Girl.
I've also grown Gazanias, Sweet Peas (poor success rate there), and Everlasting Peas.
