Mum, think i'll stick with that too! Will they be ok in an unheated greenhouse or should I keep them in a wondowsill?

last year they were sown in the greenhouse - for some reason this year they were germinated inside and then put outside - it doesn't seem to make any difference  :D

Monty Don says you don't need to soak or chit modern varieties but I'm just too traditional I guess! :).
I was just curious if anyone else was old fashioned too!

They really do seem to grow anywhere, in fact the best display I had last year was a self set one with no help from me whatsoever - must say something about mny gardening skills!!! :(
My husband's a water sign, I'm an earth sign, together we make mud :-)

My gardening diary is here - go on, have a peek , you might be able to help me!
