out in my garden today but there is still a bit of colour around considering the wet weather we have had.
The baskets are a bit young yet but showing potential as you can see here;

Nice pics TeeGee. I like those streptocarpus. I used to have a few of them many years ago. Looking at them has made me want some more. Think I'm gonna take a look on the net and see what I can find. Thye would be just the thing for my shady greenhouse during the summer. Thanks for sharing
Tee Gee Really enjoyed another wonder through your garden, I really must take some lessons on making hanging baskets look attractive. Thank you.
That's all looking so pretty TG. Do you raise the flowers from seeds?
yummy
QuoteDo you raise the flowers from seeds?
As a general rule yes! but this year I managed to get some pre-germinated seed for £1-10p a pot to supplement what I sowed and grew on..
For £5-50 I got
62 Antirrhinum
55 Asters
30 Petunia
34 Begonia semperflorens
26 Impatiens (Busy Lizzie)
= 207 plants which is roughly 2½p each.......a bargain I thought
Twas indeed a bargain TG & some of those flower seeds are difficult little blighters smaller than a pinhead so would be worth it not to have to try & 'sow thinly' as the packets suggest.
