Delphinium seeds
I have saved seeds and want flowers for next year. Usually I have
planted these into seed trays in the spring and then planted out. Would I obtain any success if I planted direct into the soil now and cover with a cloche? Judith |

With your winter weather, I'm not sure a cloche would be enough protection. -- Pete C London UK |

We have had 2 nights of minus a few degrees, it was so sudden, next week promises to have temps back up in the mid twenties!!!! Judith |

Judith If you plant them in the soil now, you can be sure that the slugs will have a number of dates in spring marked on their calendars... -- Jeff |
