I was excited to see that two of my Pike's Peak seeds had germinated. They're now been mown down by (I suspect) snails. Grrr!

I found some seeds in Lidl a week ago, planted them on Friday and watched my little seedlings grow...








They are a bit floppy but I'm sure they'll get some backbone soon.
The rest of the seedlings that didn't get their own pot are planted in various suitable places 😊

my sown direct ones are just starting to appear :)
The one that's doing the best is one that self-seeded under the bird table, though - is that cheating?
