I've found a jam-jar with some foxglove seed in, from last year. What's
my best bet for growing plants from the seed? I have an empty room in
the house, if that's of any use, with south-facing French Windows. This
room is not directly heated. Should I use some sort of bought compost
or compound to sow them in trays? Inside, outside? I have no idea what
the best contitions might be, but I'm very keen to give these the best
chance I can. Any ideas?

Throw some (a small amount) where you want them to grow and hoe out the
surplus.

Thank you, various. I am most *particularly* interested in getting a
good result from these - I could, as you all intimate, just "throw
down the seed" - however, would any preparation help? I know of a
place where foxgloves grow - perhaps I should weed out any growing
there, and scatter some of last year's seeds where these were growing?
Should I do anything other than throw them down upon the hard ground?
