Growing these lovely flowers! I'm watering them everyday and I planted them 3 days ago. Am I doing this correctly?

Don't overwater, keep the compost moist, not wet Dave 😊😊😊

Have you got good seed compost and vermiculite ready for your seeds Dave? 🤔🤔🤔

Get yourself some #fuchsia food too. They will love it mixed into the surrounding compost Dave 😊

You'll know it when you see it, it will be labelled for fuchsia as it's granular and slow release which they prefer. Most multi purpose composts are now suitable for seeds, that's all I've used this year and had better success than seed compost. Vermiculite is for seeds that need to be on the surface to grow, vermiculite just holds the moisture. But always read the instructions on the seed packet as to why they need. But give me. Shout if you need any help as I'm happy to help when I can 😊😊

Going dobbies today. Hopefully I can get my metal hanging pots to go on my fence. 😀 as I've now decided to sow my seeds early next year as I think it's a bit late now!
