Title: Fox gloves
Post by: davholla on July 24, 2007, 13:45:14
A few weeks ago I planted some in a container of soil and they are now 3-5 cm high.
What should I do next ?  I do not have a lot of space can they be planted near soft fruit ?

I can't think of any reason why not unless you're thinking no because they can be poisonous? I shouldn't think there would be a problem. Still, I'd wait for more knowlegable bod to pop along.  ;D

I don't know about the posionous thing either, but bees love them so they'll be good for getting your soft fruit pollinated!

I can't see why you shouldn't do it now â€" they self-seed quite happily in my garden and seem to be quite tough little plants. but I'm only guessing!

Tough? The b***ers in my garden are set on world domination!  :o

And they won't be that size for long either, methinks....

Basically when you consider them large enough.
