Mandymoo May 2016 8:24pm, 22 May 2016 3,153 posts	0 Mandymoo Mine still need repotting - digging up flower border, fitting new fence and decorating seem to have take priority over repotting - they still look good though
mad4purple May 2016 9:28pm, 22 May 2016 33,800 posts	0 mad4purple So I bent the stem transferring to a bigger pot when I put the new stake in. I've still tied it up in the stupid hope that something amazing might happen. Just for fun I've gone and planted 4 more seeds in a pot and will see if I get any growth from any of them. I feel I'm becoming obsessed!

Mandymoo May 2016 9:30pm, 22 May 2016 3,155 posts	0 Mandymoo You certainly can
Watford Wobble May 2016 9:32pm, 22 May 2016 5,837 posts	0 Watford Wobble M4P you go for it. Honestly we're not laughing in FizzyWobble Towers.
mad4purple May 2016 9:34pm, 22 May 2016 33,802 posts	0 mad4purple I've only planted 40 (maybe more) seeds, got 1 OK growth, bent the stem, another one is a few inches. Now 4 more to go. Definitely dud packet.
