    This shows how we are getting along with our seedlings you can see the picture of when we first got the plugs and how they are doing now the coleous and verbena are huge and the fuschia is doing well plus the beans and courgettes and tomatoes are doing well We have more of the tomato seedlings and courgettes and more beans sown. The corn we tried to raise indoors to plant out died unfortunately.
    thank you for looking.

    Thank you both, they are not the best photos but gives an idea of whats growing, I just need the weather to warm up so I can get out there, I did go out on sunday to my little garden and tidied up the pots and planted a few pansys, It is early yet so I didnt plant many thought I would see how they fare. I am desperate to get into father in laws garden and start work, now who gets which plants thats the Question I like them all.

    Gosh all your plants have certainly grown since we last saw them. I love the colours of the coleous. :stew2: What a pity the corn died but you could try planting some more later in the year and see if it does any better. I'll look forward to the next set of photographs. :-D

    They are all looking mighty fine Playtime. Big and healthy and should take off like a shot when you can get them planted outside.

    Thank you Eileen and toni, I so hope they do well, I have just informed my hubby we need to get at least one more of each of the plugs as I want them in our garden and in his dads.

    Hi playtime;
    Those plants look very healthy. I'll bet you can't wait to get them planted. When do you put plants out in your area?

    Thank you Frank, I think my favourite at the moment is the coleous.

    Gardengater to be honet I am not sure I am guessing mid to late March, depending on the frosts it is very mild at the moment and I have planted some pansys out at the weekend and theyre doing fine I just have to hope the weather doesn't turn for the worst. We will have my father in laws greenhouse to put the tomatoes and courgettes in and a squash trouble is I am ending with more plants than I will have room for!

    Great Job!! I am anxious to get out and dig in the dirt too!! Unfortunately I still have about 3 - 4 months to wait :rolleyes: I'm going to try more coleus this year. Your fuschia makes me want one but I never have any luck. I'd like to try strawberries too but I have to pace myself. I always get a little plant crazy in the spring and then have WAY too much to take care of :D

    Your plants are looking great playtime, you are way ahead of me although I noticed my Gazania seeds have started to germinate. I love verbena, one of my favourites :stew2:
