this week with daytime temperatures feeling around 0 C, a couple of hard overnight frosts and some sleety rain but thankfully no snow.
With weather like this it’s not surprising that the remaining flowers haven’t survived and were looking very sorry yesterday when I had a quick look round the plot after lunch.
I’ve been mostly armchair gardening this week and this morning received the packet of sunflower Big Smile seeds I ordered a couple of days ago. One of these I’ll be growing in a pot on the windowsill, and the rest on the plot. I’ve not bought from RP Seeds before but I’m impressed with the packaging, and their website which I’ll looking through again.
I’ll also be looking at the MoreVeg website as they have a sale on for the next few weeks. I’ve always bought most of my vegetable, and some flower, seeds there and can highly recommend them, particularly if you only want small quantities.
This is an achive photo of sunflowers Ring of Fire I grew in 2019.
Have a good weekend, and take care!

Do you use a grow light for indoor growing?

Sallymom hello and welcome. No I don’t use one, I rely on natural light and sunshine so I only grow plants in the spring and summer. xx

You cite interesting websites for vegetable seeds that I’ve not heard of before. Here, in central Kentucky, we have near freezing temps and high winds as a front comes through. Otherwise, it’s been abnormally warm here. Have a good weekend!

Liz I don’t buy many seeds and find that smaller, and specialist, suppliers prices are better and have the varieties I want. Goodness, talk about extremes. Thanks, and you too. xx

We have had snowfalls, but being near the coast not a large quantity survived. That isn’t always the case though. Our main concern is frost on top of the sleet and snow. We have started to scatter salt on our steps and path.
One of our evergreens is not looking spritely. I think it will survive. Fingers X’d.
Have a good weekend Mr F xx
