The advice I found said to prick out the seedlings into pots when large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse/windowsill for at least their first winter before planting them out in early summer. <BR/><BR/>One word of warning though - Neriums, esp. (<I>Nerium oleander</I>), I've just read, are very poisonous (one leaf eaten has been known to kill a child) so be sure to warn Sam about it.<BR/><BR/>Don't let this put you off from having a go a growing this beautiful shrub though - many garden plants are harmful and it's best to treat them all with respect - something I'm sure you (and your son) already know.<BR/><BR/>Do let us know here how you get on!<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/>Tim :o)xTim Hopperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360769593953942626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17740341.post-9480275035459431202007-03-22T14:32:00.000+00:002007-03-22T14:32:00.000+00:00Hi Tim,you have sown much I see :O)For the first I...Hi Tim,<BR/>you have sown much I see :O)<BR/><BR/>For the first I have seed of the Oleander Tim - would it succeed to sow that in little pots?
