Allotments 4 All

Obviously self-sown seeds survive though the winter, so does anyone here sow any flowers outside now ready for next spring?

I'm about to sow some poppies, cornflower, nigella and limnanthes. Experimentally. I haven't done it before, but all the packets say good to go now.

Just read on another thread that poached egg plant (Limnanthes) can besown now so should be ok with those.

I would just sprinkle the seed of that wherever you want it....once you have it, it will turn up all over the place! ;D

I let poached egg plants grow everywhere, bees and hoverflies love the flowers!

A line under my cordon apples and pears keeps weeds down and helps pollination too..... ;D

I usually think that if they go to seed naturally now, then now should be a good time to sprinkle seed from a packet.

I'd go for it!
