Well, still pop those in a pot of compost quick... you will have twice as many next year. In the mean time, I'll have a look and see if I can dig up any more... though it might be better to leave it till autumn when I can dig up the dormant seeds.

Good luck with those 4... were the others smashed to smithereens or is there a chance of them taking (pop them in the pot too... you never know)

Sorry

Cheers for the sedds TG... has practicly doubled my seed colection :lol: looking forward to some tasty veg :mrgreen:

they were preety mushed but im going to pop them in the pot and keep my fingers crossed

They look like they are loving it - I am now paranoid that they are not sweet peas (but tbh I can't think how they would possibly be anything else)

They are growing like weeds round my recycling bins... I'll be putting more seeds on here come autumn. :wink:

Will you put up pictures of the flowers when they arrive please :mrgreen:

OOPS!!!!

They are not sweet-peas.... well probably not :( :? :oops:

I have now got some sweetpeas up and I dug out the roots to check... they are not the same... they don't look the same, they don't smell the same :?

I can only say I am really really sorry :cry:

I don't know what they are... I have thousands of them and they are all around where I had only sweet-peas last year (um and weeds... but they are not bind-weed, ground-elder, or buttercups - and they are the weeds that I have there)

does anyone know what they are?

They might still be very pretty flowers :oops:

I had my suspicions now mine have come up...I will keep them segregated until they are big enough to find out whether they are weed or flower :lol: Hopefully they are something pretty and exciting - do you have a short list of options to check once they are bit bigger?
