      Nice one Nick! My seeds are just starting to sprout. I was a bit late planting. Am just about caught up now though!

          Nick, I have to give you ten out of ten for being what is probably GC's most enthusiastic grower at the moment. :biggrin: I'm sure we are all enjoying your enthusiasm!

          What's the name of the morning glory you are growing please?

              Good going Nick , seem like you have caught the seed bug :hapydancsmil:
              One thing as Jenny said 85 Cosmos is quite a lot , they are a big plant . I grew Cosmos sonata dwarf last year and it took over one of my beds ! I am trying Cosmos gazebo this year.

                    Nick, you can always make yourself some money at car boot sales with the excess. :)

                      Well done Folly Man - you will soon find it gets compulsive. But one thing I am learning is that there is a massive number of different plant to grow. You need never run out of ideas.

                          Last year Cosmos was my favourite plant. Great value. Flowered for absolutely months (I did regularly dead head, which helps)
                          Use as many as you can Nick. I bet the neighbours will be very grareful for any spares.
