What you really need is a deckchair and a mug of tes.Sit in the

I like the sound of that, (could I substiute the tea for coffee)
Unfortunately the rat-race doesnt give me lazy hours

You don't need to spend hours at it, and it's far from lazy. But as
an experienced gardener, I promise you that taking time to look and
attend will teach you more (that's worth knowing) than anything else.
It's the basic, essential gardening skill.

they are doing fine but I just dont know what to expect
I dont even know what a flower truss will look like
or when to expect them. (its my first time!)

To use that as an example; observance will teach you the answer to
both. No asking, fretting, book, tutor, website, training course, diary
or stopwatch is required, the answers are already there within the
growing plant. The time the truss appears, is your mutual moment of
recognition and understanding.
