Hi Tim,
you have sown much I see :O)
For the first I have seed of the Oleander Tim - would it succeed to sow that in little pots? What do you think ?????
My Verry Best Regards,
Rita :O)
Hi Rita.
> would it succeed to sow that in little pots?
Yes, I reckon so. 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.
One word of warning though - Neriums, esp. (Nerium oleander), 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.
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.
Do let us know here how you get on!
Best Regards,
Tim :o)x
