    Mine have germinated. :)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    As of yesterday mine are planted in the garden, they're about 3 inches tall :)
    I've filled the wheelbarrow with soil and planted the strawberries in it too.

    Finally got round to planting mine last night in a propogator - is that cheating? Needed to try and give them a bit of a boost. I've also planted some in pots and once they germinate I'll plant them outside.

    Keep your fingers crossed for me, just as I am for you guys.

    I planted mine today, am a little behind everyone else! I put mine in a windowsill propagator currently in the plastic greenhouse, but possibly will be moved inside later on as I'm off on holiday tomorrow and want to put everything together to make things as easy as possible for my plant waterer!

    I bought a mixed pack from poundstretcher for £2 - it had giant yellow, irish eyes, teddy bear and ruby sunset, plus a pack of lucky dip, which seemed to just be a selection of the other ones included! Am hoping that they all germinate for me and I will have a stunning display by the summer:)

    Don't think I will win any prizes for height, given the varieties, but I'm hoping that they will all look beautiful together!

    It had better not be - that's how I did mine. ;)

    Right I've update the first post with the two categories and everyone's names - if I've missed anyone or spelt names wrong please let me know (and I'll blame it on the wine :beer:)

    Mine are already quite tall and I defo need to repot them - I also want to grow more so must pull my finger out and get planting :D

    Still not found any black one - will have to look in asda next time I'm there as I've banned myself from ordering anything else online (like that's gonna happen).

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend :j
