      So tell us whereabouts you are planting these seeds, geographically. Cheers, Tony.

      It's early for tomatoes johny, you will have to nuture them indoors until all chance of frost has gone unless you have heat in your greenhouse. I started off one or two toms seeds today trying to get an early crop, but my main sowing will be mid March :thumbsup:

      Where do you live Johnny?

      Yup - Strelitzia (Bird of Paradise) take seven years, unless you've lucked in on Strelitzia nicolai which will take far longer and outgrow your house!!

      Spring is my favourite season, I always get a happiness rush when the first seeds germinate. It's a bit of a struggle after that with early sowings, keeping them from getting 'leggy' because its too hot in the house and not enough light.
