Well I put several of the pots of seeds in the CF and at least the verbenas have germinated....I read in a book that some seds can take up to 3 years to germinate! so maybe I give up too easily. the geranium maderense have suddenly germinated in the HP. just wish the others would take note and get a move on....

I've decided to have another go at the trillium seed....got some horticultural grit so that stuff in the cold frame stands a chance. Lobelia Tuppa as well...I know that it's getting a bit late now and maybe I should just abandon sowing until autumn/next spring...but it's just my favourite part of gardening I think....growing from seed....and I do like a challenge... ;D

All seeds are a challenge to me!!  I'm too lazy to walk the length of the garden to get tap water, so I use rainwater, which makes the compost green and hard...but ...do I ever learn?  |

I was potting on this afternoon...I hadn't noticed that some of the pots I was using for pricking out (square ones from Wilkinsons) hadn't got drainage holes. The seedlings in these pots have very poor growth...so I've had to pot them all on today...exhausted.  |

I've just sown some paeonia rockii seeds.
I didn't realise they were going to be a bit of a faff. Chiltern Seeds don't usually do info but I have a short essay.
Sow, put in fridge for 2-3 months. The 20C for 2-3 months, then back to the fridge for 2-3 months. They may be sometime then! ;D

Forgot to say thank you for the link Chuckles. I've had a proper look at it now.
I wonder if the periods of 2/3 months are trying to do what nature would do in 3 years?
