My first seeds have germinated this year! woohoo! ;D
I sowed five sweetpeas (that's all I had left) and six pots of lobelia two weeks ago - I now have one long sweetpea (might prove rather premature with my celebration as it's rather leggy) and several tiny lobelias saying hello to the sun!

Hope you did the happy dance Aqui,i have sown over 50 containers since the 1st of feb after reading up about the winter sowing method in the gardenweb forums,and i had my first sprouts on the 6thfeb and a few more since.

I have only just started sowing my seeds, mainly flowers as I don't have a lottie. Have sewn some tomatoes though. One strange thing is that I saved some bush sweet pea seeds last year (they are great for baskets or containers). I kept them in the fridge over winter with all the other seeds and when I went to sew them I noticed that many of them had started to germinate. Funny as I thought they would have needed heat not cold ???
