    Help With Growing Seeds

    I think you end up with stronger plants by overwintering, maybe just my thinking, long time since I've grown them. Tbh.Fox gloves and wallflowers are a bit tougher IMO.

    What's your weather like 2026

    Wet ground from overnight rain. Mixed reports re the amount of rain today so from a few forecasts I’m concluding that there may be rain showers but generally a bit drier overall today.
