2023 - What I sowed today

Sown some more Bombay bronze cockscomb. They seem very delicate! Trying things a little different with these.
Direct sown some sweet peas.

Never grown cockscomb - they look lovely.hace you grown them before?
and are they difficult?

Never grown them before. From the first lot of germination and only having one left. They seem to be on the tricky side. i’ll be growing them in the tunnel. Got them from chiltern seeds https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_300...bay_bronze

they must be delicate. They’re the only seeds I’ve ever brought that are into a bubble wrap bag inside the packet.

They are very cold sensitive- and only give one cut per plant. Ive read florets cut flower book ( US) she sows 6 weeks before last frost/ half hardy annual.

Yeah that’s why I’m growing them in the tunnel. Chiltern website says cut off the first flower spike as it appears. To get it to bush out and produce more. If I do get any flowers, I intend to charge more for the bunches with them in
