Today I decided to prick out the petunia seeds i sowed a few weeks ago lol.
They just kept coming and coming and coming.. erm i have 10 plugged trays full of petunias... Note for next year... dont sow whole packet lol.
Petunias anyone???? lol
Rofl - you are not alone! I did exactly the same thing this week - hope my family likes petunias! ;D
Aye I understand ;D ;D ;D
I have done it with just about everything years ago ;D ;D ;D. A WHOLE packet of cabbage, cauli, beetroot, lettuce all at once :o you name it I sowed it.....all.
It wasn't a big garden ::)
ah yes me too. in my first year i spent about three weeks pricking out a million poppies. my mother in law has only just stopped laughing. :D
you are not alone springbokgirlie, last year was the first time I had grown veg and i poured two packs of carrots seeds into a tiny space, about 4 pumpkin plants and about 4 courgettes, let just say that jungle was the right word to describe it lol
Been there done that! Got the T-Shirt ( Under Gardener)
::)
when James Martin started his veggie garden, he planted a whole pack of lettuces in a 3 foot, I think, row..then he did 2 more rows the same ;D
and they showed it on telly ;D
Yep same hear, I had 110 tommie plants on the go in my first year. ??? :o :-[ :P ;D ;D ;D

I've done the same with half of my seeds this year. Then I ran out of room, and have still got half my selection of seeds left.
Must confess, still do it every year, well ......
some might die....
or get eaten...
maybe my allotment will grow to three times its original size.....
Crumbs will I ever learn? (78 tomato plants already and I know I have sown some more ;D)
Just love sowing stuff - and it stops having to dust the back bedroom as I can't get in ;)
I'm up to 40 tomato plants as we speak! I sowed extra in case of failures and not one of them did! So now ringing every relative I have to force them to have some rofl ;D
I grow about 50, and expect to get inundated with tomatoes.
We have about 50 tomato plants and I have a couple more varieties left to sow. I am planning to keep about 30 plants. 10 in the garden, 10 under glass and 10 straight in the plot (the hardier varieties). I will give the rest away at work/friends or the allotment plant sale.
bit like me, put 2 seeds per pot, the experts say, pinch out the weakest..none of them look weak so I transplant the spare, ended up withat least 40 toms and the same of peppers ;D
