unfortunately slugs got to these, mostly bottom row, I hope they'll recover but will have to see

I've repotted them into this large pot

I've had this packet of seeds for at least 2 years and hadn't gotten around to sowing them so thought I should finally. I sprinkled them around the garden. They'll have to get on with it themselves.
