  • Things to sow now!

    Judging by the self sown seeds that are springing up on the allotment and in my back garden - now is the time to direct sow aquilegia and sweet rocket (hesperis matronalis). I am hoping to get some established in my small garden (without the dog noticing and pulling them up) by sprinkling seeds around!

    Any more ideas of direct sowing of biennials / perennials?

          Trouble is, folks, that I have an exceptionally curious spaniel who eats everything she can find- and so many perennials are poisonous - happily she doesn't like the taste of some of them but being an anxious owner I need to be sure she is going to be safe from the rest. I need to rule out foxgloves which is a real pity.
          Some great ideas though

            Just to add, I know hesperis matronalis is safe, (sweet rocket) and she is already not keen on acquilegia - so it is just a case of sowing stuff that is going to grow in a semi shaded back garden and also be safe for my dear dog.
