Scarlets Cut Flower Patch 2022/23/24

I always Autumn so to get a head start. Some things work, some dont, some work and get ravaged by mice

In the GHouse so far - Mid Jan
Autumn sown:
Larkspur - selfsaved pink/lavender- potted on and ok
larkspur - s/s white cloud. Germinated and ravaged by mice. Hoping some will pull through
Sweetpeas- S/S about 80... all small but doing ok. Sown in Nov
Daucus s/s about 30 plants in 9cm pots. All good
Ammi s/s about 50 plants - all good
Orlaya s/s about 30 plants in 9cm pots all good
Nigella s/s - these grow outside ok but are fab for filling in holes. Good for the seed pods as well as tge flower... lots of these. 
Ranunculus and anemones - ravaged by mice but hoping I still get a fab crop.

Sown in late summer
Campanula - lots of these, some still in trays, some pitted on into larger pots, some putside already in beds - same for the Sweet williams

Snap dragons were all eaten - so started again
Larkspur - chinensis -pink butterfly. I really wanted these. All eaten by mice/slugs

Starting bells of ireland/corncockle/ more larkspur/cornflowers. I really love echinacea, so may give those another try. 

All my dahlias have survived this year - so hoping to dig a couple more borders and use the tubers myself rather than give them away.
