Title: Propagator or not!
Post by: Elaine G on February 24, 2019, 11:37

I have sweet pea seeds and sunflower seeds - sown yesterday - in a cold greenhouse. Would they be better off on the propagator for a while, at least until I run out of space!
Thanks

Sweet peas should be OK, but I'd have thought the sunflowers might want it warmer.

Thanks for your reply, the sunflowers have now moved indoors  :D

So I put all my little pots onto the propagator except one, as I ran out of space. That one was left on the table
It might amuse you to know that the first one to germinate was the one on the table  :lol:

Thanks for the reminder, Elaine!

We usually get Sweet Pea plugs locally, but Sunflower seeds need to go in pretty soon!

I've got just one self-seeded Sweet Pea from last year, so will check her out tomorrow!

Growster I am being constantly reminded about sunflowers by my 5 yr old grandson. He wants them now!
He hasn't asked for his tomato plant yet thank goodness.
He loves gardening and anything outdoors, but hasn't yet grasped that things can't grow when its freezing  :lol:
