    Afternoon all,
    Simple question - can I sow seeds now or Sept for next year? For some reason I can't find anything about sowing now for next year:scratch: Don't know why and now my neighbour has given me some of her seeds and keeps asking me when they should be planted - I feel so stupid.
    Do I keep these indoors until next year? My brain is definately on the way out :help:
    Thanks

    I have sown mine and they are ready for potting on ,they are bi-annuals so sow this year flower next. :dbgrtmb:

    I will plant them in their flowering positions when I put my daffs in. :gardening:

    I also have my foxgloves and aquilegia going strong:mexwave:

    For reference the http://www.thegardenersalmanac.co.uk/Indexes/index.htm gives great info

      Yep I didn't realise they are Biannual. Mine look very healthy if a little bland. Roll on next year.
      Oh well I'm learning...

      I planted seeds about this time last year and over wintered in a cold greenhouse. I planted out this spring and had masses of flowers. Well worth doing again.
