I shouldnt be let out alone ! I had to go to see the Doctor this morning or believe me I would not have been out ,I was happily waddling through the High Street on the way home with the sleet pounding down when I stupidly looked into Poundstretchers shop window and there was a man setting up all this years garden stuff , did I continue walking by ? no ! in I went for a wee look and out I came several minutes later with a pkt of Geranium seeds , now my hubby doesnt know so dont go telling him or im in big trouble ! if there is one thing I dont need its another packet of seeds , ive just sown them and got them on top of the fish tank to germinate , ive also sown Begonia seeds , they are SO small ! there is 750 seeds in the small tube ,ive never grown them before so plz wish me luck .

A tip for sowing very small seed - mix it with some sand and it'll be easier to see and ensure an even spread when you sow it

good luck, and i did laugh reading your story, i am just the same, i have to hide B&Q and homebase reciepts all the time so my other half wont get wind of what garden plants and accessories i have been spending all of his hard erned cash on! lol the problem is i don't even need to leave the house to do it! on a windy and rainy day like today - after fixing the roof back on the greenhouse as it blew off! -lucky its not a glass one! anyway getting back to the point, i have been shopping for seeds and willow screening on the internet! i think i have a bit of an obsession lol - having a computer i think is even worse - you can buy anything from anywhere on here! thank the lord for GOY at least i can get my gardening fix without spending any money! lol

Weemama, I think you should have a chat with Marksbegonias and get some hints on growing Begonias from seed! I am just a bad, as you all well know. Today as it was pouring down outside, I cheered myself up by going through the plug plant sections of various catalogues - and it will be very hard to rein myself in! Mouthwatering pictures of peaches and cream Verbenas, gold and purple Anagallis and oh dear, I can't resist some colour-co-ordinated packs of plants! (Look in Dobies...) The total is horrendous! Trouble is, I have to fill my tubs,well, don't I? Please agree with me and help my conscience....

My double tuberous Begonias are all grown from cuttings taken off the plants. I have never grown from seed, yet! I have ordered some Begonia Luxurians seed to have a go with this year. I have been reading about growing from seed here, and couldn't resist having a go!
