With next year forecast to be hotter than this year I've been thinking through what I want to do differently at the plot next season.
I'm autumn sowing flowering hardy annuals like bread seed poppies, nigella, cornflowers and dill. Also snapdragons and foxgloves. I struggled with late frosts and then whipping into a heatwave with more tender annuals so I'm skipping a lot of them for next year. Want to focus spring sowing efforts on tomatoes, aubergines rather than flowers.
