[Flowertot]

This year was my first year of growing flowers for cutting and I was so thrilled with the results (I had low expectations!) that I am planning to sow some hardy annuals in modules tomorrow (very excited  ) for planting out in October.  I will be sowing poppies, snapdragons, cerinthe, ammi majus, scabious and cornflowers and hopefully they will last the winter (if not, I figure I can sow more in early spring).

I sow a lot of perennial seeds at this time of year as I seem to get better luck and if they are looked after will give some flowers next year.Achillea and Aqualegia always do best now with 95-100% germination which goes down to about 15-20% in spring.Last autumn it was rudbeckia'Goldstrum' that were sown and lychnis.Rudbeckia didn't flower this year but lychnis did well.I also collect seeds from angelica that I let set seed this year and sow them in modules.
