Delphinium seedlings

huddled around the fire, bnd777 told them this story: Well I have a greenhouse full plus lots I have already planted out and they are doing great when mine are past seedling stage i pot them up in my own compost which is of course originally pretty rich in horse manure etc Ah, but that's the point. Mine never get past seedling stage. (I'm using peat-free compost, does this make a difference?) Rhiannon |
