    Scabious seeds, cover or not?

    I think I poked them vertically into the compost. If I remember rightly they're quite big and easy to handle individually. If you have lots of seed you could try different ways and see what works...

    Plant labels

    I use pencil, then at the end of season I collect all the labels. The ones that didn't break from the light get washed (using sponge and soap), then I use eraser to clean whatever written.

    Help With Growing Seeds

    Good lights for little cost! @CanadianLori My problem at present is lack of places to put all my propagators! Even if they have lights (so don't need windowsills) they've got to be near sockets.

    I looked at the mud and just decided to pot up some Asclepias tuberosa roots that were delivered a couple of days ago, along with a Canna "Durban".

    I’d be surprised if Beth Chatto’s gardeners use slug pellets or insecticides :thud:. Birds tend to be vocal here in the morning and out looking for worms mainly early morning and at dusk. Sound for me also includes wind through the trees and swishing through dried grasses in winter.
