Propagation This Month

Yes, sorry I spelt it wrong, I won’t plant them yet then, I’ll put them in my greenhouse as I think my house is a bit too warm. Thanks for getting back to me

Although I like my seed spuds to sprout, I'm not as patient as them, they get planted when I want them planted......... it works!1st earlies in 2nd earlies in Maincrop inJust look out for late frosts and be prepared to fleece/cover if necessary.

Morning sandhun Yes your conditions sound suitable. It would be better if you could treat yourself to a cheap electric propagator, even a very basic one to provide a little bottom heat....it’s all I use. I have several varieties that have germinated now and growing well Just be aware of...

We have a fair number of Witch Hazels here and I have never found any seedlings under them. Many plants have chemical inhibitors exuded by the roots which prevent seeds from germinating. After all who would want to be crowded out by hundreds of babies?

Thanks guys, the seeds were a spur-of-the-moment purchase, I had a feeling it was wrong at the time but live and learn I've potted them on and moved them into the coldframe for now (no space to plant them out properly), so we'll see how they go.

Oh! what a relief. I thought I was the only one with a problem. Yes, been there done that. Got the tee shirt. Perhaps some members used to smoke. I did. Yes I found it the hardest thing to give up. I managed it back in the 1980's thanks to a severe dose of shingles.Garden thankfully is...

thanks for the info

...UPDATE:Well, all but two of the Plumeria seeds have sprouted, and once planted, have shot up considerably. Currently looking very healthy living on my West- and South-facing window sills, but the sunny blast we have been enjoying lately, seems to be taking a back seat at the moment, so the...

I think KFF has diagnosed my problem - last lot of wallflowers were in the conservatory.......after reading your comment, I have moved the latest sowings outside. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you. I've just tried again, with Unwins bedder Mix...the only choice left but it says they're sweetly scented.

Thanks @pete , I wasn't sure about that.

This is the benefit of gardening forums such as Gardeners Corner. OK, yes usually the seed packet carries some instructions for sowing. These instructions are usually based upon experience gained through the various trial stages. The forum comments help fill in what hasn't been written and...

I did once before, and they seemed to do ok. I don't have anywhere that's sheltered enough to put them in the ground so this seems like the best option for this year. I'm sure yours will look lovely wherever you decide to put them !

That will keep you busy! They look good.

must have been thinking of that sauce... Lee & Perrin..Sorry about making you search - yes I bought the seeds through Perron - they are also the only ones who have Kelsae seeds. The pepper seeds are from a company named Suttons.

Thank you both very much...

thanks for that, whot gets my goat is it says for further sowing instructions contact us I did and as I said I might as well be talking to a brick wall ill see whot comes back from my second message I sent them

I warmed mine up a few weeks ago as I was taking a few cuttings, thought a bit of bottom heat couldn't hurt.

How many of the tv presenters qualify their advice re location? Very few if any do Even in Cornwall temperatures vary enormously ......last night for example temps were 13 degrees in far west and Isles of Scilly to 5 or 6 further east. When I offer advice I take into account the...
