Help MBE grow his dinner 2010

My sprouts seedlings are not faring well . I think they've been got to by the frost . I've planted some more just in case...

I've still got nothing showing in my tomato seed tray - planted 3 weeks ago this weekend.

I'm wondering if the late frosts etc are delaying germination? I hope so, as it went so well last year.

Right then - quick update.

I have lots of seedlings of chillies and tomatoes / kumatoes. Still got a few more I want to sow.

My dad's lent me his Mantis.



That should help. :j Didn't even know he had it. :doh:

I'm sorry to hear that Mardatha -especially as I've bought a packet of hyssop seeds in the hope of attracting bees

I started off with a small plant and it got quite big with little looking after. Have you tried from a plant, or just from seed?

Tried both over the years, never had it survive at all. Is it a delicate plant ?

I didn't think it seemed to be, it was one of the more successful herbs last year, it's grown into quite a reasonable size over a couple of years, have got it planted on an allotment so it's just been sort of left to grow.

I think the sweet pea suggestion for bee flowers is a good one. The scented ones smell lovely and you can grow them yp things you would like to cover. If you don't want to do them each year there is a perennial one.

The very big plus is you get loads of flowers for picking which yougivecaway to family and friends, earning you lots of brownie points.
