Watching Seedlings Grow 2017

Gardengirl..

What seedlings have you got growing, here you can post pictures of your seedling to show all

I find it exciting when you look through your seed packets and picked what you want to grow, sow the seeds and then the wait begins watching the trays or pots most days

The very exciting bit the seeds germinating

Now you have little seedlings to look after

Here is the link to the first thread 2015

Kitty 2

I love the seedlings thread Gardengirl.

I haven't started anything off yet, some chilli seeds and lobelia will probably be my first at the end of Jan. The rest will be left until March ?

What I can show is this years challenge of "novelty" Christmas gifts 

There are six varieties of tomato in that box. I usually grow only two. I'm mentally running out of space before I've even started.

Here are some pictures     -   computer would not let me upload yesterday

some of the seeds I may grow

Here is my seedlings of Honesty self seeded in the garden

Self seeded Nigella - love-in-a-mist  in garden

Avocado which started growing out side compost bin so I potted it up

Verbena Bonariensis this is what I sowed last year a long time ago and they are in my plastic gh getting bigger

My broad beans at the allotment that I sowed in November they are getting there

So that is the seedling so far

Kitty2 you have a good choice of plants to grow, I think I have to many free seeds - so space does run out but do like sowing seeds

Perki

These are seeds and cuttings I started in the autumn. There is Ammi majus and visnaga, Echinacea white swan, purpurea and pink parasol, Euphorbia oblongata, Sweet peas,Scabiosa burgandy beau and salmon pink, and Astrantia seeds which haven't done anything as yet.

I also have antirrhinum, peonies and other cuttings and bits and bobs in this makeshift cold frame.

Lots of flower seeds to sow later on too, I'm going to need a greenhouse at this rate!

I collected a few Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing' from my plant last autumn and popped them in a little seed tray and left them on the low wall in a shady corner - the neighbours cat knocked it over and in a rush I just scooped it back into the tray and hoped for the best - yay! We have six little seedlings !

What a relief dove, I've just googled it and it's a lovely plant, I bet it looks great in a vase with other flowers too.

Bumping this thread back up

Great thread GG but can not add mine yet as all still in packets.  One thing i do know though is this year i will write the labels with pencil as all and i mean all mine washed off last year!

I'm starting some seeds in February.

Antirrhinums, salvia,agastache, calendula,larkspur,liatris and marigolds, the rest will be in March. Does anyone know of a good site to help with the pronunciation of some of the flower names that isn't Americanised.  E.g. Agastache, ive heard so many different ways of saying this that I'm confused ( more than I usually am?)

You could try ebay for labels they sell them cheap, I get some from labelsnthings when at garden shows, I have used milk bottles made labels - then you can just chuck them away when not needed or if use labels with pencil rubbs off well
