    […] *Sow growers like to sow in a seed bed…then transplant the plants in the Autumn. I tend to do what I usually do and grow them in 3 inch square pots…15 plants to a seed tray (See my ‘Pool Table Method‘) […]

    When I began pricking out my first tray of seedlings I was wondering ….maybe it was a womanly thing, bathing in joy of handling & nurturing these tiny wee seedlings and being in awe… and thinking what a shame to just go straight to the toddler stage…. a few weeks on I am so with you Mr H., only 3″ pots for me next year…. and now I am wondering where on earth I am going to plant them all in my modest sized garden… So easy to get carried away after drooling over all those photos ;)

    Oh mr Higgledy you are such a huge pool of knowledge and experience. I will use this plan next year as I am currently drowning in seedlings at various stages of development and I do need to be more organised as not just for me but I have persuaded many of my clients they need a cut flower patch too.

        Help please, I am growing flowers for our daughter’s wedding on July 26th. I am currently cutting and drying the delphiniums for confetti: how soon should I cut them right down to make them bloom again for the Church on July 26th? We did the same in 2012 for an August wedding and just made it but it is a much drier year now.
