So it was that I planted out ;
- Half a dozen Holly-Hocks, they can grow very tall given the right conditions and time;
- Double the number of Cosmos seedlings I reckoned I had suitable space for;
- Too many Livingston Daisies to count, (they were bunched up);
- Some Petunias;
- An unknown... Penstemons.

The planting advice, sun/shade etc went by the board, these seedlings were going to have to take their chances wherever there was a space. I did try and give them the advised spacing and some of them seem to require quite a lot. It is very tempting to enlarge flower beds and yes, I admit it, I did create a small additional area in which I planted Cosmos, Penstemons and two of the Holly-Hocks. That's it now, no more new spaces.

I smiled when I read this as all gardener's say that but never do stop acquiring and planting something else.
Happy gardening. Flighty xx
I kinda thought the same about enlarging plots Mr F, as I wrote it and I had a silent bet that you would raise the thought! Being practical, I can't play with more than I can cope with. :)

What a joy. Hope you have a lot of flowers this summer
Hello Shimon,
What a lovely wish; it would be really nice to have a reasonable period of time of warmth and sun. I think the potential blooms would appreciate it too!
I am always so thrilled to get free plants that I never pause to think where they will be planted!
What a haul though, I'm glad to hear how many you actually managed to get in the ground!xxx
There were quite a few varieties of seedlings to try out; Snowbird. Two types might be perennials, one certainly is.
One of my many Aloe Vera plants is outside now ...it kept getting knocked over on the sill, balance was not its strongest point. I've wedged the pot between large stones, on a wall, in company with hubby's pots of cacti.
