    The seedlings will probably catch up with the warmer weather now starting to appear. I still have Cosmos lagging behind, they're only an inch tall but it's surprising how quickly they put on a spurt. :) On the other hand I have dwarf Lavatera that's nearly a foot tall and way overdue for planting out, it's still not warm enough with a hint of frost still around too. :doh:

      I have 3/4 baskets planted up with impatiens, petunia, lobelia and geraniums. Nothing worth sharing though!
      My cosmos are flying, I've planted out the first lot. My backups are smaller and need pricking out.

        Ours are brought on for us in a professional hothouse. Otherwise they wouldn't be ready for Open day. The pansy baskets are done at home, as are everything else.

                  Not to everyone's taste, Petunia Pink Ice plus Dichondra Silver Falls.
                  It's very bright!

                              Very slow growth, one has been eaten by a slug so I'm down to four. I think I put them outdoors too early, it was just over 3 weeks ago.
