How long did they take to germanate ?

I’m going to attempt to grow some when this one gives me some seeds

Sowed them on the 20th June, first time I have tried to grow them.

Not long ago really but I was very unsure ,@alp said to be patient and that they would......and she was right

 

[Upsy Daisy]

I am new to them and to be honest I had to Google them to know what they looked like......very excited now at my 'new babies'.

But fingers crossed I don't kill them off in this heat!!

Help @alp!!!!

 

[alp]

You should see mine, lanky ,droopy and a lot of yellow!!!
Looks totally....awful!!!
Hang on I'll nip out and take a pic.....

@alp........I have Agapanthus lift off, look closely nowView attachment 40843

Have I spelt that right...sorry if I haven't

Yes! Hurrah! They can take a bit of abuse. Best of all, their varieties have been tested and trialled, I should think!

Won't be long as those being sold in the nursery are all showing seed pods. Of course, they have been forced and are earlier than ours.

Don't think you will. I know you're a nurturer!

Serena Williams defeated. She certainly was a bit rusty. I think things will improve for her!

It's this intense heat that worries me with tiny seedlings.
Best to only give them morning sun do you think?
Would hate to have them turn into frazzled fries
But on the other hand they might prefer to soak up the sun......I know nothing about them perhaps I'll have a Google session this evening

Sad to see her lose , but she is a strong character and will bounce back. Motherhood takes a lot out of you ,it's still early days .

Just a bit of morning sun and wait till the roots are established. Trouble is that our air is so hot. My zinnia seeds have exploded and sprouting seedlings. Very happy.

Ok

Wow lucky you.......wish I had direct sowed more.I think next year I will do that instead of in trays
