Last month I posted my vegetable seed plan, its time now to think of the flowers I plan to grow this year. I have already planted some seeds in January, such as the Lobelia and Sweet Pea. In fact I have some Sweet Peas I planted back in October, these have so far survived the Winter in the greenhouse wrapped in a blanket of fleece. For those of you that maybe interested I soaked my Sweet Pea seeds in water overnight before planting.

I will have to get my sweet pea's started soon as well..they are usually the first thing I start to plant. I also plant cosmo's and naturiums..they make great flowers.
I look forward to seeing how your flowers do, and what you think of them, as some of these I have not attempted to grow myself.
Happy Growing 🙂
