Hello, been on this forum years ago but forgot my account details, so here I am under a new alias..lol
I planted an auto today in a secluded area , straight into the soil bed I created, the seed was directly placed in the soil and watered. I usually transplant but thought I'd try something new .
It's going to be 20° to 16° here in the uk for a few weeks now so I'm paranoid of the sun drying out the seed or soil before it gets the chance to root up, any tips ? I've made a cage from sticks around the small bed to protect against pests and also a large salt ring about 10 inch away from the bed again to protect against slugs. Should I be checking every single day and topping up with water until she pops up ? Or should I now just leave her for a few days ? I've never planted straight into the soil outdoors before and it's hot here in Yorkshire at the minute, should I keep checking the soil as to make sure it doesn't get to dry ? . I've always grown indoors, done a few on the windowsill before but never outside from seed directly into a bed . The location is great so no issues there . Any help welcome. Will post some pics if she survives and begins the journey
