A couple of quick questions...

Ok, three questions

1. When should I take the lids off my propogators? I've sown my first ever seeds and many of them are sprouting away merrily. Some cosmos were starting to brush the lids yesterday so I potted them on into little pots instead. I've planted a real mixture in 4 propogators (in the GH) including sweet peas, penstemon, morning glory, dwarf french beans, brocolli, poppies and some other flowering things that I got free.

2. I have an 18" high penstemon in a bed that wintered really well until it snowed. Now most of it is dead, apart from 2 stems that still look ok. Should I cut it back or something?

3. I have lots of daffs flowering in the garden but two pots of daffs I bought in spring last year aren't flowering at all this time round. Should I throw them away or is there a chance they will flower later this year or next spring?
