    There's a lot you can sow Tootles. In addition to Lyn's list I've got baby delphiniums germinated. Also bird's-foot trefoil, bladder campion, astrantia, greater stitchwort, kidney vetch, vervain, salvia verticillata all sown and some germinating. Going to sow aquilegias and sweet violets soon image

    Thanks Lyn, Fishy.  You are both busy! I'll be clearing the greenhouse of tomatoes and cucumbers at the weekend so keen to get something new happening.

    I have just sown some geranium seeds as well.
