Sweet peas in conservatory?
Has anyone tried growing sweetpeas indoors?  I want to grow some in growbags, up strings, in my greenhouse / conservatory.  Will that work or do they need to be outside? There are other hardy annuals I'd like to keep indoors too.  Is that a stupid by Rosie31

What flower seeds could I sow outside now to flower this year?
now would be lovely - I have run out of money for plants but could stretch to a few more seeds! Calendula would do fine now. As would cornflowers and nigella and a far few more. Pretty much any half hardy annuals will flower this year, and should by PaperFlowers

Should I dig up my Allysum?
that it is a hardy annual plant, but would someone be kind and explain what this means in practice?  Should I leave some clumps in the ground so it comes back next year, or dig it all up to make room for some spring plants, sowing fresh seeds next spring by Jo Hamilton

out after frosts are over. Hardy annuals, like love-in-a mist, calendulas etc you can just sow the seeds in your prepared soil. Certain half-hardy annuals, like cosmos, nasturtiums you can sow when it's warmer. Otherwise, if budget allows, just buy by Dusty bluebells

someone will. I thought Cherry Brandy was a tender short lived perennial, but Sarah Raven lists it as a half hardy annual. Anyway, it's usually thrown away after the frosts and re-sown under cover in early spring or bought as a plug plant. Thompson by Dave Cooper-Hughes

Leucanthemum 'Broadway Lights'
Does anyone have any experience of this plant, should it be treated as an annual? I am about to dig up one from last year which has performed bady this year, and another has died.  They look so beautiful in the garden centre in their pots, should I by Gracie5

Flowers for July?
Hey all, my garden has suffered this year from its usual lack of flower in the 'dead zone' after all my cottage hardies have finished but before my later stuff begins. Just wondered what y'all used, other than annuals, to keep the interest going by auntie betty

New flowers to recommend
'. It's easy to grow, and great in a patio pot. But what about those you've grown this year? Have you grown any new varieties from seed this year? How did they perform? Would you grow them again? Whether your favourites were sweet peas, hardy annuals by Adam Pasco
