More seeds sprouting

The snap dragon's have sprouted, closely followed by the morning glory, nasturtium and tomato. The sweet pea is a bit slow but one of the pots is showing signs of life.
I been moving things about at home bringing my art supplies downstairs so I might use it more. Have confirmed what I knew already have too much stuff , time for a clear out.
I am doing another bookbinding course at the end of March should get me going again, it has been a long, grey winter can't wait for some colour in the garden.

Cosmos and gardening

On Monday afternoon I sewed my cheapo Cosmos seeds from Aldi , woke up this morning ( Friday) and they have sprouted! Gardening my new found pastime. I needed some colour  in the remaining dreary end days of  I now have loads of primroses and miniature irises in the garden. I have planted Allium , Agapanthus and Chinese Lanterns for later in the year. Buying seeds and plants seems to be potentially addictive. One more thing I also
got a pot of Bearded Iris. I want flowers to paint , flowers for colour through the year and flowers for cutting.
