Seems a lot of my seeds are spritting, it's a lovely sight isn't it.
Maybe I should hold off planting things outside as it's going to be cold next week?

I did some more planting/potting the other day....
Petunias - couldn't believe how small the seeds are!! Apparently one packet had something like 850 seeds and the other 650, so I think we should get a good few from that little lot!
Sunflowers - love them so potted a few up.
Beetroot and carrots - did well with beets and carrots last year)eat(
Courgettes - potted some more as my last seeds didn't sprout for some reason?
The seedlings are all doing well - even my sweetcorn:-D . Still holding off putting them outside for a bit though)t'
