to start off with I'd like to try propagating pelargoniums and delphiniums from stem cuttings taken in April and petunias and nemesias from stem cutting taking in late September. (do I have the timing right?)
How much time will pass before the cuttings become mature flowering plants?
Will the grow rack offer enough frost protection to over winter the rooted cuttings of the petunias, the geraniums and nemesias?(the rooted delphinium cuttings can go straight into the ground in late September - right?)
Do you think the grow rack with the cover closed will be suitable for getting the cuttings to root (or will I need to put a polythene bag over each pot as well? Won't that get too hot inside the bag?
Also for growing plants from seed - is the grow rack with the plastic cover closed the same as winters sowing? Or Indoor sowing. for example because the days from sowing to flowering for pansies is quite long will the pansies be ready in time for early spring if I sow them now and put them outside in the grow rack? how about if a get the seeds to germinate inside prick out to a tray and then put them outside on the grow rack - or will that be too cold?
Thanks.
