does anyone know whether its 1) too late to plant some briza maxima seeds 2) whether you can successfully plant these in small pots/modules and then plant out into the final site? I know you're normally meant to sow these directly in situ, and normally earlier in the season, but being busy with all the veg, these have unfortunately been left till I managed to get the other stuff underway... also the site earmarked for these needs some work, so I thought I could maybe catchup in time a bit by sowing these in pots in the mini greenhouse and then planting out when I'lve been able to work the site in properly. Any thoughts? thx!!  :D

I started some in modules in Spring 2004. Planted them out when the space was ready. They self sowed in the autumn and came up over the winter/spring. They are flowering again right now.

It might be worth waiting until the autumn now to sow yours for next year.

But if you have a lot of seed, you could try some now and some in the autumn. You won't need to save any seed for next year as they do all that for you!
