    Greetings from Shoreham-by-Sea.

    I recently came across some begonia corms that I'd put in a safe place and forgotten about! They've sprouted to an extent, but obviously without light, soil and moisture. Is there anything at all that I can do with them at the moment in an effort to save them for next year?

    Thanks...

    Stick them in a pot with some new compost or outside in a border.

      Makes sense, I guess. Thanks, will see how they go.

      I've forgotten how to re-assemble my elderly Garden Pump.
