Dear all,

We've sucessfully grown a large number of lupins from seed and I see
the instructions say not to plant out until Sept. Internet searches
also confirm this.

Frustratingly nobody says why! Can anyone enligten me?

Lupins are very vulnerable to slug/snail attack, and you can lose an entire
sowing overnight (happened to me :-().

Funnily enough, I just noticed last week that the verges along the M8 and M73
are covered in Lupins. It looks lovely.
