Oh this is getting worser and worser  My Grandma had the most gorgeous garden - she fed EVERYTHING with bonemeal - I have some of that - quite easy you just sprinkle round plants What do you think  But what about the ickle animals that get killed for the bones  |

I think the bones are collected after the animal has had a long and full-filling life Jenny.  |

I've lost a few of my morning glories - don't know if it is just a bit too cold for them to be in the mini greenhouse at night? Still have more than I know what to do with!

I have lost a couple as well Jas,i think it was when we had a couple of frosty nights,but i have plenty,dont know where i will put them all. I grew a lot in case jenny wanted some more, she has a habit of killing things off you know  |

I bought some tricolour morning glory seeds when I was on hols. I soaked them last night and hope to get them planted today so I can compare mine to yours BM. The ones I sowed feb did'nt even germinate.  |

I'm sure I heard somewhere that it's a good idea but not absolutely necessary BM. I don't usually soak but since I had no luck with the others I thought I'd give it a go so don't worry. |

I soaked half of mine and not the other half just to see what happened More came up from the non soaking although that could be a coincidence so I would say it doesnt seem to matter |

There isn't room in the airing cupboard - the second lot of chillies & peppers are in there as I didn't think the first lot were going to germinate and guess what, some have. May have to do a move round tonight! |

Does anyone here water with chestnut compound to stop damping off then? I used it a lot last year but have'nt this year as I'm getting a bit more experience.
