It seems to be an exceptionally good year for primulas in the garden so, just to prove that I am not totally obsessed with the allotment, I have decided to grow some more from seed ready for flowering next spring. One problem is that they need a cold spell to germinate. This is created by either sowing in pots and putting in the cold frame in the Autumn for over wintering. Or, as I have chosen to do, sowing in Spring, in pots with plastic bags over the top to retain moisture, and putting somewhere cold. Unfortunately, this means the fridge where they will stay for three weeks. Thankfully, Nick is wide awake enough to not spread them on toast in the morning by mistake for Marmite
