    Evening all. Cold and wet tonight, so no slug hunting for me. Have lost 3 lupins to the b*****ds this year.

    Meatballs and pasta for tea and now drinking a nice malt whisky to warm myself up.

    Tomorrow will be even wetter, so time to start sowing the biennials I think.

    Enjoy the rest of your nights.

    I understand biennials take 2 years to flower, but dies that include this year i.e. if you sow seeds now they grow leaves etc this year and then flower next year? Is that right?  Can biennials sometimes be perennials too with the right conditions?  Sorry if those are really thick questions but not a group of plants I have given much thought to until this week. I was also wondering when it start sowing perennial seeds?

    Good morning all image

    Well, it's  not raining .... but it has been and it will be image  The pond is almost overflowing - when I drove past the watermeadows yesterday they were flooded at the time of year when they should be cut for hay!  However, my delphinium is just bursting into bloom, so I suppose it's only to be expected that we will get strong winds and torrential gales.

    Mind you, this week last year we were down in Cornwall, and it was the first week of sunshine we'd had since the previous summer!  That spring had been so long and cold - do you remember how far behind everything was last year?  

    OL, answers to your questions are, 1)Yes, 2)Sort of sometimes although it's actually sometimes the other way around, and 3)Now
