    I have these in 5inch pots at the moment and they have filled the pots with their roots, the plants are extremely healthy.

    Is it worth re-potting now or waiting til the spring to plant them out?

     Here are my Lupins & Delphiniums potted on into 2L pots. Probably will plant them out in a few weeks time, weather permitting image

    I love growing from seed, it's like having little children image

    They look lovely and healthy, well done. Mine weren't planned, I think they have self seeded from my neighbour, but they are lovely, nonetheless. Think I will move them this yr so I can see them better.

    Matt - soooooo lovely to see the outcome of advice that was given months ago - i feel a personal connection to those beautiful plants in your greenhouse image.  Can we have another pic when they flower pleaseimage

    I like to respond to my past threads for purely that reason chicky image

    No point asking for advice if you cant share your success from it!

    I love lupins and delphs, my garden is full of them, mainly because I have to grow everything I need from seeds. These are the easiest along with foxgloves.I chop them back after flowering and get a second show, not quite so big but nice for late showing, i still had delphs in the autumn. Give them a wash with a homemade garlic solution, that will keep the slugs off.
