'Suz',

You must try Cosmos Sonata Mixed. They are easy to grow and will bloom
for most of the season. Just follow the directions on the packet, which
you can get from most garden centres. Plant them 2' apart. Sounds a
lot, but they will fill the gap.

Hi

I'm a total novice, but decided to grow some seeds 2 years ago. Some
were
ok, others didn't appear at all, but one was a complete success. It
was
Thompson & Morgans Achillea millefolium Summer Pastels. You simply
couldn't
go wrong. Every single seed germinated and flourished and they have
made a
lovely bright spot in the corner of the garden.

I'm now having another look at seeds and want more like this. Totally
easy
to grow, the sort you can't kill. Don't care if they spread like
wildfire -
so much the better. I like cottage style, with really soft pink blue
and
white, and lots of soft green. Is there anything like nasturtiums,
but not
bright yellow or orange?

Any suggestions of idiot proof seeds?

TIA
Suzanne
