Another seed that seems to like fannying around whilst the rest of us want to get on with it is Tithonia…this one is the lovely ‘Fiesta Del Sol’…this little lady has taken nearly a month to get just to this size. I have resown in the modules where the seeds didn’t germinate. So with roughly 25 seeds you would get 15+ plants…or a row of about 15 feet.
They will not have outgrown these modules by the time they need to go out after the frosts. (Mid May) This saves all the grief of potting them on…more work…boring…yawn…why bother? Just start off in reasonable size modules. Simples!

Have got mine sown. Thank you for the seeds and little hand written letter. Nice personal touch. I get very impatient waiting for the little darlings to come through and then when they do, some are so miniscule you need a magnifying glass to see them.
We need some sunshine here up north.

Yes…but others come up big and bold and brassy…rough with the smooth and all that. :)
