You must have the touch, I've tried growing salad leaves in modules but they never seem to take, so now I just leave it ‘till a bit later and sow directly in the ground
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I’ve never used modules- usually sow direct but wanted to get a head start under fleece for an early crop. Figured if it gets super cold I will put in pots and have them on the kitchen island- they clearly like it!
It doesn't take long for hellebores to flower from seed, the only thing is that you can’t guarantee the colours, some turn out a dirty white, but I’ve got quite a few that have come out pinks and purples. Worth a try. Sow them as soon as they are dried and leave outside.

Thanks Lyn! I don’t care about colour really, although I do like the purple and pinks- I’m just glad to see flowers when they come up! Do you hand pollinate or do you just let nature take its course? Normal seed compost/grit- do you cover seed or surface sow?
