have grown outdoor cyclamen from seed but not indoor cyclamen, although I have kept indoor ones. I would think that the same regime would do for both - Soak seeds in slightly soapy water for a while - they are sticky and it removs this. Put in a pot

and of varying heights and also perennial if possible. thanks everyone in advance Yvonne It depends on what you want to grow-heating a greenhouse is expensive -so much heat is lost through the glass A lot of seeds can be started off indoors-in a propagator

, only for the autumn winds to blow its head off two days after it flowered (I'll need to work on avoiding that this year).So how does one set about growing a record-breaking sunflower? Well, sow the seeds for a start. You can sow direct in the soil

I have just joined the Heritage Seed Library and have received some Achocha seeds. Too late for sowing this year so I'm intrigued to read about what I can expect next year. My Lancashre Lad peas and Brighstone beans from HDRA are doing well

see them at the moment Just been potting on and playing with seeds indoors. Definitely not the same. Think I'm developing cabin fever. I feel the same another day stuck inside looking out the window seeing the jobs I need to do come on warmer weather
