catsmother21 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 And finally another Petunia. I really enjoy planting and watching my flowers grow, I find it very therapeutic and it gives me a sense of achievement when they actually grow! I have made some mistakes with stuff but I guess that's how you learn. Would definitely recommend it as it gets you out in the fresh air as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brehgirl Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi all xxxx Anyone on here a happy gardener? Do you love pottering in your garden? It's something I've never ever done. ANy hints or tips about growing a few pretty shrubby pots and tubs would be much appreciated xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hiya, i have a few gardening type things on the go, strawberrys, chives, rocket, lambs lettuce (altho the slugs had their way with them mostly lil blighters!) and ive recently picked up a variety of petunias including black velvet petunias. All i can really say is they need to be loved and never leave them in the pots u get them in always put them in bigger ones with some fresh multi purpose compost and give them a good water straight away so the roots take. if u buy plants and they are rootbound dont be afraid to break up the roots a bit before u re-pot cuz they like it. it gives them room to stretch. if ur growing from seed just some herbs etc, best way is on the indowsill in good light but make sure u turn off the light to that room at night as like us , plants need to sleep. to sew seeds u literally just follow the instructions on the packet. and obv if ur doing it indoors its irrelevant of the time of yr. i find basil is lovely indoors and chives, and a good easy starter plant. basil should be watered very little when its wilting directly to the soil not touching the leaves and when ur want to pick ur basil to encourage growth pick from the sides chives are easy, pretty much the same as basil only u pick the little buds on top of the chives so they grow xxx hope u have fun! garden centres are so peaceful, brill for me cuz i hate busy places x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have other plants but no names. nice i saw red rose pnats, like mini roses. i think that might be my next indulgence. im not exactly bereft with space tho and also my cat ate the last rose plant i had. im hoping now shes more used to the outside she wont be tempted seeing as my petunias are still in tact ?!

brehgirl Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 OK! Where would I buy said propogator? if u live in uk aldi always have propogating sets, they are like paint pots u use for kids so lots of tubs all stuck together, u can sow ur seeds in a propogating set and raise them indoors till they grow a little (say 3 inches) and then u can pop them out of the tubs and repot them in that horrible shrub area, but i would suggest digging up the weeds first cuz they will just eat ur lavender PS Whats a propogator....................! Am v dim at this, sorry! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehgirl Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 p.s. u dont have to buy a set. i just put my seeds in soil and put under a desk light 24/7 for 7-10 days they should root by then and pop em outside, a propogating set is like lots of tiny pots which have a clear cover on them and sit in 1 cm of water. to encourage the roots to grow as they reach for the water. u can use half a fizzy bottle as a clear cover if u like.
