The new garden is further away which means it’s become a bit of a family weekend affair. It’s a much wilder spot with trees to climb and hideouts to be made though so the kids are enjoying it so far.
Hi Pheigi. Things are looking good in your new space. I have heard other gardeners say viola and pansies can take a long time to germinate though I've never grown either rom seed.
That good to know, thank you. I was starting to get a little worried as all the other seeds are popping up but there is almost nothing happening in the viola patch. The poppies are taking a while to get going too and I will be so upset if they don’t do well though I think I heard they like to wait for a frost before they start to show.
I've never planted viola from seed but have had a few reseed from plants I've bought. I think it can lay dormant for a bit then sprout when you least expect it. Your freesia is really coming along nicely. You make it seem simple enough that I am wanting to try a few ranunculus...we'll see. Take care!
I’m hoping that’s the case or it’s going to be a really boring experiment 🤣 good luck with the ranunculus. There are so many fancy (expensive) varieties out there but honestly I like the simple ones best, if you can get them in slightly muted colours.
The first year I grew anemone I didn’t know you were meant to soak them and they all came up fine. I understand why big producers want to pre sprout but for the average grower I really think it’s an unnecessary extra layer of complication…I hope, I may have to eat my words if nothing flowers come spring.
Those deep purple ranunculus look stunning!!! It's so nice to see all of your family enjoy the new garden. I hope you always have fun there!

I also lost a bunch of Ranuncs to mold. Now I really just put them in the ground (even unsoaked). They seem to do fine
