How glorious to see all those seeds! I haven't bought many this year as I'm still deciding what to grow.

I'd like to try larkspur this year as well, it's so pretty. I looked through a few of last year's summer flower pictures the other day, it reminded me how lovely the summer is. I grew the black ball cornflowers, they did quite well and they're such a gorgeous colour.

Apparently, to benefit from a spell in the refrigerator to break dormancy, seeds should be damp (but not wet) and ideally put in the bottom compartment rather than the freezer.Alainhttp://rochefleuriegarden.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-24004229007150732922015-02-02T20:29:57.047+00:002015-02-02T20:29:57.047+00:00Loads of people having problems with Blog Reading ...Loads of people having problems with Blog Reading Lists at present.<br /><br />http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2015/01/the-mysterious-reading-list-becomes.html<br /><br />http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/2015/01/reading-list-use-requires-recognition.htmlBag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-79422972103956669212015-02-02T19:35:25.452+00:002015-02-02T19:35:25.452+00:00Hmmm, this is a subject on which I am not well qua...Hmmm, this is a subject on which I am not well qualified to comment!

As to sowing those mislaid seeds, I have successfully sown seeds that are well past the sow by date. I figure they have two chances anyway, so what have you got to lose?. ~~~Deb<br />Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2968566767038645152015-02-02T16:14:51.879+00:002015-02-02T16:14:51.879+00:00I don't think not having a Google+ Account sho...I don't think not having a Google+ Account should make a difference, Elaine.
