I sowed a variety of hardy flowers, but maybe not quite at the right time 

Coreopsis Early Sunrise
Lupin Festival mixed, Russell mixed
Leucanthemum Crazy Daisy
Pansy Gaiant Fancy mixed
Wallflower Fire King, Cloth of Gold, Persian Carpet, Tomb Thumb
Delphinium Pacific Giants, Avalon
Foxglove Foxy mixed

I've yet to go through all the seed swap flowers to see what I can sow.

Put Aquilegia seed packets in fridge to stratify.  Is this adequate or do th seeds actually have to be in the soil and moist in the cold?

Sowed the aquilegia again, the seeds having been in the fridge for a week. The cabbage caterpillars got my pak choi seedlings so I might sow them again. This time under cover!

I feel like sowing summat in MFBs, only problem is I've not got any pre-filled with either compost or soil. Finding both in quantity might just be more trouble than I can be bothered with.

Do you have anything growing in pots or growbags that are past their best? Use that compost ........and, stop making excuses. Tongue
