Derived from the Greek word meaning "beautiful," cosmos are as dainty as they are durable and are also one of the easiest plants to grow from seed.<br /><br />Cosmos are adaptable to almost any kind of soil, but they do need moisture to germinate. In dry, hot climates, place a shade cloth over the bed until the seedlings begin to sprout. This happens in roughly five to 10 days after planting.Nelsonhttp://nelsontheadventurer.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-92058315986662172692012-08-17T18:56:20.514+01:002012-08-17T18:56:20.514+01:00Your garden is growing beautiful things.

Our garden doesn't seem to furnish us with any free ones - slugs and snails however are very easily found!

R's...how lucky that A's shoes still fitted! R's did too but possibly not for much longer. Still, it meant we could postpone the expense and the horror of trip to Clarks at the end of the holidays! PS the chrysalids need to be hanging from the roof of the habitat rather than pinned to the side so that there is room for the butterflies to hang properly and dry their wings when they hatch out. I use sellotape to stick the greaseproof paper bit to the centre of the lid. It is fiddly and you have to hope none fall off. rockinloubylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158626656631422167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110545709667707541.post-23160458441718679012012-08-15T09:25:03.118+01:002012-08-15T09:25:03.118+01:00Your garden is a picture, so pretty and so much co...Your garden is a picture, so pretty and so much colour.
