I've often lamented about the number of baby plants I have and the prime reason for the problem is that I can't bear to cull the stragglers.  I work on the principle that even the weedy ones deserve a chance and some investment.  That said, I'm a devil for leaving plants for too long in small pots or forgetting them until such time they're no use at all so some get culled by neglect.
So how ruthless are you with the runts and stragglers?

Does anyone else grow Canadian Wonder. I opened a packet of Kings seeds (the bundle at the top of the picture) and thought they don't look right (quite small and different shades of red/brown) so I checked against my own saved seeds (bottom bundle) and as I grow these for the beans I'll be sowing mine and chucking the kings.

Hi all,

I have a couple small nepeta plants grown from seed (a white flowered variety). Can I put them straight in the ground, or should I restrict it's growth like you would with mint? 

Thanks!

I sowed 4 seeds of Craigella, 3 of which germinated, I think either that or I've lost the 4th.  Two were potato leaved the other normal leaved.  Looking on the web it says nothing about Craigella being potato leaved so I'm wondering what I have growing.  Anyone else growing these?

I must admit I didn't even know this was a thing until today which apparently it is!!

Obviously, you are not getting me in the buff in the garden, it's not warm enough and there are too many birds looking for worms around.

How many of you have heard of it or maybe even tried it?


No details or photos though 

No room at the inn ......again, and it's only going to get worse.

   

Scarlet I have a couple of questions?   

I’ve just sown your lovely mix of CFBs.
I know one is Tresnejavec = best for shelling & Meuch = fresh or shelling
Do you have any idea what the black seeds might be? 
The other seeds you narrowed down to cosse violette or Kew blue. How do I tell which one I’ve got when they start growing? Any difference in leaf, flower or pod colour? 

Thank you 

I have a packet of mixed herbs I picked up from Aldi methinks.It was 99p and the herbs are:-

1) Parsley Italian Giant
2) Basil Sweet Genovese
3) Chives
4) Dill
5 ) Mint Spearmint
6 )Thyme
7) Marjoram Sweet
8) Garlic Chives.

I will try and sow all these today and if successful it should make for a cheap selection of herbs.

I feel a little guilty I didn’t introduce you all to skew ( the crazy one    ) months ago. 

He’s a very vocal little fella, always has to have the last word.

He lives for his orange ball and he’s a bubble blowing water baby. Told you he was nuts    .

                     

I fancy sowing some more perennials flowery things. I want to get the seeds now

So anyone have that plant that's a keeper?

I'm sure I have some agastache somewhere? Anyone have it. Nice not nice? 

Ideas please...would like my greenhouse chugging out some plants for next year. Happy to overwinter them in the greenhouse.
