@rachelbrooks they are teeny I pricked a tray out of 24 and gave seed pot for mum to prick some out too there were loads lol but worth it as dotted all round pots this year 😄

You put me to shame Keely. I decided not to sew anything this year, apart from direct outdoors. I've ordered lots of plug plants instead, as they were more successful for me last year ☺️

I sowed mine weeks ago and I've got three teeny tiny shoots. Think I'm going to start again. 😞😞

@susanhumphrey333 I wasn't going to do these from seed either Sue as lobelia cheap enough to buy but got free seed packs in mag so thought I would give them a go they were very fiddly 😕

@pelly Jane these went on heat mat first indoors and in a tray there is a mass of them still to pot on but not sure I want to prick anymore out very fiddly will prob give some to mum to prick out I've put about 3-5 seedlings per cell as that's what it says to do to get the cascade of colours, I will keep them inside until it's alot warmer and they are stronger 😄

I don't have a heat mat, but thanks for the tip about three to a cell though. 👍😘
