... what is the advantage of doing this?marg
Good Luck with you late/early sowing. Off topic, but something ate the tops off our marigolds after they were planted out. It wasn't slugs because open ended cloches stopped it happening. Which suggests birds as the culprits.
They don't stop slugs - they stop the birds. If it had been slugs doing the damage the flowers would have continued to get eaten despite putting on the cloches.
Seems to be a SW London thing :) Once they flower they're left alone.
Only crocus we ever had trouble by bird were yellow ones, they left other colours alone. Here we have no cocuses at all, but that is because the mice eat the corms long before they ever flower (the crocus not the mice!).
Right, I bit the bullet and sowed 10 seeds on Sunday in a 9cm pot covered with the top half of a water bottle and put the pot on the kitchen windowsill. Today I noticed that at least three of the seeds are starting to break through the surface. So far, so good. :)G x
