    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!
