Sow good.

Well, helper and I have been busy.  We've been popping lots of seeds into seed trays and hoping for the best.  Simple process - poke finger in seed compost (yes, I buy seed compost), put seed (or seeds, if the packet's got millions) in poked hole, cover hole, water lightly (I actually put them in a box of water to allow the water to come up through the compost, rather than top down...) and put in the kitchen.

They were then promptly neglected while we went away for a few days.  And this is what they looked like today. 

Far box is sweet peas.  Middle one is chinese lanterns on the left and delphinium on the right.  Near one is Gazania on the left and Rudbeckia on the right.  As you can see, some are further on than others, although the Gazania, which thought they'd germinate after 14 days (according to the packet) are actually out after just a week, so you never can tell...
Needless to say, I'm pleased with their progress so far...  Though the next thing is probably for them all to go weedy and fall over and die :)
Oh, and if you're wondering, this is the start of the cutting garden.  We're expanding from vegetables and fruit...
