WITH more enforced time on our hands earlier in the year, we sowed lots more seeds than usual and were inundated with an embarrassment of riches.
Annuals, perennials and veg seeds all came up trumps and now we are enjoying their beauty and bounty.
One small problem, though – not that it’s one to complain about – is that so many plant seeds germinated we didn’t have room in the garden for all of them! Some we gave away, but we still have several left, including some delphiniums. These beautiful hardy perennials bring stunning stately glamour to the garden and will happily survive all year outside.
However, we regularly lose delphiniums (and lupins for that matter) to slugs and snails and having nurtured this year’s seeds this far, I don’t want to lose them.
