Two months ago I posted on here to ask what would grow in 8 weeks, so I could give home grown flowers out to my community at Easter.
Got loads of great replies but shout out to u/sonofgreebo in particular for suggesting nasturtiums.
I managed to grow loads of different types (see photo) and although they didn't flower, look pretty healthy. A few particularly strong ones I gave to my mum.
Today I left them outside my house with some Easter eggs for my neighbours & passers by to collect, I love near a busy pub/ event place so we get a lot of traffic.
I have loads of lovely interactions, one little boy knocked on to swap chocolate eggs with my little girl, and I got two thank you cards through my door, including one with some KitKats from Japan!
So thank you, got loads of great advice for next year, I'll definitely be keeping up the tradition. Just wanted the group to know what a small but positive impact your advice had in my village.

That’s lovely! If I get extra plants from my seedlings I will do the same as you.
Oh that’s so cute. Nice work!
Ah, nice things.
That is wonderful – will try this at my house, I get lots of walkers/cyclists passing by.
I need to know what the KitKat are like 🙂

I just got these 2 plants given look the same I was told is was a type of vegetable🤔
This is wonderful! You really made my day with this post 🥰
Think pink one is plum and the top one she kind of tea, maybe macha-esque
I had loads of Aloe Vera plants that I grew from tiny little sprouts. Advertised them on Facey and a young lad collected them to sell at a plant sale for charity. Love to see plants and flowers going to good causes!
My nasturtiums are taking ages to germinate, any advice?
The raspberry KitKats were one of my favourite discoveries in Japan, if you can get your hands on them at all, they’re worth it!
This is so lovely! 🙏🥲👏👏👏❤️
