Seedlings are best protected against bird damage with a few short twigs. Autumn sowings should be overwintered in cool, but frost-free conditions.
Message from Mr Fothergill: Some of the seed in our sale has a shorter sow by date and you may get packets stating sow by December 2024. We can reassure you that all the seed is quality tested and 100% guaranteed until the end of the Sow by Date.
In fact, our sow by dates are conservative, and if seed is stored well in a cool dry place they will almost certainly last significantly longer and still give good germination for a year or two more.
