Green Fingers... Maybe

Normally I am the kiss of death to plants. For several years I have planted seeds and nothing has appeared. My attempt to nurture shrubs and lavender all ended in failure. This year could be different. My cycle planter is sprouting away quite nicely, with green shoots popping up all over. I planted a variety of wildflower seeds, some I got from Friends of the Earth for their bee program. I also planted some California poppies, which should be a golden colour. Looking forward to seeing them. Fingers crossed.

@Ronrybs That is good, once they have started sprouting, the most difficult part should be over.

@Ronrybs Yes, the poppies should be bee friendly.

Good luck with your seeds. What are the white things that look like solar lights? Maybe they are solar lights!

@Ronrybs They'd look nice there. Quite a few in the village have them along their paths or round their gardens. They're hardly necessary with the street lights but they do look nice.

They are indeed! I bought them on impulse a couple of years back and hadn't a clue what to do with them. I saw neighbours had some out, so I thought a good idea. These ones cycle through blue, red and green

We've been having lots of drizzle and light rain, which has helped a lot. All looking good, this morning

I hope you will succeed it. If the water and sunshine are both proper, it will grow well
