    Here's this years Parks summer bedding seed to be sown over the next 2 months. No automatic seed sowing machines, no potting machines, all done by hand. They are aside from the 45,000 Geranium and Begonia plugs arriving next month. :D

    Strongy - that looks awesome. But do tell us some more if you can.

    Can you say what you are sowing, and at what time and why. The reason I ask is that such a common question at this time of the years is when should I sow my seeds?. And you have far more experience than most of us.

    I will Peter but bear in mind that I am growing on a large scale and sometimes have to sow the same variety in sequence to fit in with planting times. I'll try to say what, when and why in the coming weeks.
