Yes, that works well with tomatoes Tess. You can bury them almost as deep as you want as more roots will form up the underground stem.
As you say, it doesn’t work with everything though.
Well I sat there for an hour at that little table, waiting for me Latte!
I’m going home now. 
Oooh Ok. That might work. Thanks Tess.
Got all ready to go to the garden centre then it started to pour down so didn’t go in the end. Tomorrow perhaps.
Sorry Mups, they had sold out of pastries. 
I will PM you a Nespresso. :-p
I bought some Cosmos plug plants today (never noticed them before but they had hundreds of them) so now I have three chances, sown indoors, plugs and sown outdoors. Even I should be able to get one decent plant from that lot.
You will be selling them at your front gate at this rate. 
Ha! You may laugh at this Mups. Whenever I try something from seed I always imagine that I will end up with so many plants that I will be giving them away or selling them from a stall in the market. In reality, I’m lucky if I end up with one.
Selling from stall
Hi LD, been following your cosmos adventures with interest,
I cant help much myself, but my advice would be to stick
with Mupps, she seems very clued up on this subject,
speshli concerning uk conditions.
We had cosmos growing in SA, but all we had to do was
let the flowers go to seed and dry out, then break the flowers
open and spread the seed around the plant and rake lightly
then water, lo and behold in spring, more cosmos!
Good luck with the seeds. Donkeyman.
I’ve been in the greenhouse pricking mine out (that’ll excite you no doubt).
I remember getting told off for picking cosmos in the veldt in SA! They grow wild over there, super! I really shouldn’t have been out there anyway cos of snakes :shock::shock:
Thanks Donkeyman. Yes Mups is very knowledgeable when it comes to growing plants (I won’t say it though because her head might increase in size)
Oops, I thought I was on the last to post thread. 
Are yours nice and sturdy Tess, or thin and weak like mine?
I’m planning on removing my spindly seedlings and planting what I have left but by a different window. I suppose it is a process of finding out what you can and cannot grow. I will still have some left to seed outside if need be.
You shouldn’t be asking a lady about her legs like that, Dongle.
And I’ve got me beady eyes on you and donkeyman discussing me too!
:-p:-p:-p
Snakes in the veldt
Since being back in uk Tess, lve discovered more snakes
in westminster than l ever found in the veldt
Regards, Donkeyman.
Middling 
I’ll post a pic later of my Sea shells cosmos. I also planted Double Click which are only just coming up.
Brill, thanks.
I’d be interested to see them too, Tess.
I have some seeds of those, but didn’t plant them in the end, as I am struggling for space this year. They looked very pretty.
