    My garden is quite small, mostly pots and containers; plus a Cordyline - hence my nickname
    My latest interest is Delphiniums, I am hoping to save some seeds for sowing this autumn
    Looking forward to learning from this forum

    :sign0016: Cordy . When I am sowing delphinium seeds I pop them in the fridge for a couple of weeks , the germination rate increases dramatically in my case.

      Hello John. I grow lots of things in containers. You have the option to shift them about if their location isn't working out well.

      Welcome to the forum!

      Thanks Islander, looking forward to learning from this friendly forum.
      Back in the day I worked for a short time in the greenhouses at Haigh Hall
