I love cornflowers – that’s a lovely photo. Will you keep these in pots and then plant out in the Spring? I presume they won’t survive if I just plant them out direct?

I am hoping to keep them in pots outside and just protect them in severe weather. I’ve planted out some direct which won’t get any protection and it will be interesting to see what happens.

I might just try a few direct into the garden as well. What this conversation indicates is that I’m going to have to invest in some kind of greenhouse/cold frame/protective kind of thingy. Oh dear, I think this means this whole gardening business is getting serious!

They should be hardy – we just have a very late and often pretty fierce frost/snow when Spring growth is well under way! Maybe a cloche/upturned flower pot/seedtray would work in very cold weather.

Yes could try that. Someone on here – maybe Katxena(?) has nice line in using clear plastic bottles cut in half, which seems like a good wheeze.
