Agapanthus reports?
 

Mine are doing very well, I have 3 to a pot now, have four leaves, and
looking very healthy, some leaves are 5/6inches in height, to be honest, I
don't know whether to repot into single pots now, any idea's? I also read
that it should be overwintered in a greenhouse. I haven't put mine outside
yet, still on front room windowledge. The second lot of seedlings (the ones
that fell into the washing in the kitchen) are gradually germinating in the
conservatory, and looking quite healthy.

Pleased to hear that your Agapanthi are doing well...

I have two 'batches' - both from the same sowing. The early germinators
were pricked out and then have just been potted on into 3" modules - got
two or three healhy-looking leaves, about the same size as yours. The
remainder of the pot (late germinators) were plunged into the polytunnel
border and are looking after themselves - now a little behind their
mates, but probably going to do well.

Was planning on leaving all of them where they are for this year (in the
polytunnel) - and planting out next Spring, once they're a bit bigger...

I seeded mine quite a bit later than you did Sheila but the seedlings are
doing very well, about three to a pot, and I have them outside in the open
on my potting up table.

Outside without their cardies! I may give them some fresh air tomorrow.....

yours are doing really well too, I'll be glad to have some blue ones to mix
in with the white.

Hi Sheila, Val,

For some reason I'm not seeing all of this thread, so I'll just dive in ...
All my seedlings are coming on well, but I'm behind with my potting on,
partly due to some re-landscaping (lovely new patio :~)) and also due to
days lost to migraine (less lovely :~( ). However, my healthy little
charges are all outdoors and standing up to the weather very well. I'm
planning to pot them on in the next 3-4 days. I hope they'll romp away then
and, when they've settled in, I'll take some photographs. With luck, my IT
manager (Husband Thingy!) will show me how to post piccies that you'll be
able to see. I've never done that before, so you'll be able to have a
chuckle at my attempts. If the colour purple doesn't suit you, I suggest
you don't hold your breath ...! :~O
