    Must admit I do cover mine, but only slightly, the birds used to pull them out, or maybe as the roots formed they pushed themselves out, but I plant with a trowel in a shallow hole these days,...
    Must admit I do cover mine, but only slightly, the birds used to pull them out, or maybe as the roots formed they pushed themselves out, but I plant with a trowel in a shallow hole these days, then just cover.Tried more walla walla seed a while back and still no show.

    Yeah it's always difficult to find heritage seeds or plants locally, they only sell the varieties that the general public recognise, I get mine online

    What's your weather like 2026

    It’s stayed dry apart from a flurry of hail late morning. Cold with sunny spells now - which I like for my daily walk as you feel invigorated afterwards. Tomorrow looks cold and sunny too.

    Nothing today so stormy. Yesterday cleared some more low lying ivy. What a job. Moved some cypripedium pots that aren't doing so well. Cut back branches of a magnolia grown from seed. Flowering now but very few. Clearing an area for a different magnolia (genie). Hope it does well.

    Radiator trick is a good one. I used to just leave trays on the windowsill and wonder why germination was so patchy, turns out the temperature drops overnight were killing half of them. Even just a few days of bottom heat makes a massive difference for chillies especially.
