Foxgloves, poppies, astrantia, helenium, eryngium, biennial stocks, aconitum. All started in the greenhouse and hardening off outdoors.
Does anyone know whether I should keep the seedlings in the greenhouse over winter, as they are in pots which might make the roots freeze if left outside? I'm not sure where to plant them yet so want to keep in pots for now.
I have recently started off sweet peas (various colours and varieties) and larkspar. On my list of seeds to buy I have carnations, petunia's (both traditional and doubles), pansies, lobelia, godieta. This was my first year growing from seed, and only tried cucumbers, carrots, pansies, sunflowers and nasturtiums. Will be expanding my horizons next year; hoping to grow peas, parsnips, tomatoes, peppers, and various herbs from seed!

I've got 3 different colours of Antirrhinum germinated from seeds saved by a friend. Does anyone know if they come true colour wise?
No they don't ladyg. But you might get something really nice

Thanks very much for your reply Nutcutlet. I'll not have to worry about colours when I'm potting them on then.
There will be similarities within the different batches. Seed from a red won't give you a predominantly yellow mix etc

Yes I know what you mean nutcutlet, hopefully I'll get some nice hues.
I hope so

I'd keep them in a cold frame or cold GH. I wouldn't give them heat
