    Little update-
    Pom pom seedlings growing away well.
    Ammi majus are ready to be pricked out.
    3 young salvias are doing well
    Also got a few phlox moody blues seedlings
    Lots of young sweet peas on the go too!
    Not sure why but still no luck with scabious seeds- they just go grey and furry. Annoying! Trying another packet now.
    Been doing lots of weeding out back ready for direct sowing, as well as raking the soil to get it ideal. Just needs a few more days over 10-12 degrees I reckon. I'll add some pics tomorrow! Got my delphiniums to plant out but really paranoid about slugs!

      Smashing thread! What a nuisance regarding the scabious :sad: Hopefully the new packet you're sowing will come up trumps. :blue thumb: It's a lovely idea to grow your own flowers - keep us posted Charlie :yay::yay:

        Hi @CharlieBot, blinking slugs do like to eat delphiniums, how about trying some copper tape or broken egg shells around the bottom of the plants? I find with my delphiniums once they reach a reasonable size the slugs seem to leave them alone, good luck
