      Nice going, Lazydog!! That's a nice variety of flowering plants you've chosen there.:thumbsup:

      You'll get there, landimad, that mad glint will come into your eyes and you'll be up to your elbows in compost and seed trays.:heehee:

        I am working on the principle that if I get 50% germination I will still have plenty to give away.
        For example I have done 250 Lobelia trailing,plugs for these are selling for 5@£2.50 for a decent size plug.4 hanging baskets and 6 containers and a couple used in the rockery plenty of margin for error.

        Well, I sowed loads of sweet peas back in January, only one came up and promptly got eaten off by a slug.
        I'm busy re-laying pathways so I'm in no hurry. Garden looks like a bomb site.

        Goodness, you are organised. I am inspired by the amount of flowers. And such a selection of cabbages. I grew greyhound on our allotment last year and enjoyed it but will choose a different one this year.

        So far I have planted:
        sweet peas (plastic cups)
        leeks (seed trays)
        cosmos (seed tray)
        tomatoes (pots indoors)
        chillies (pots indoors)
        baby salad leaves
        lettuce AYR
        rocket

        Got to get onto that allotment later this week to put in Swift potatoes and shallots!
