This year was my best year ever for Ranunculus calandrinioides. Was it due to last years heat, because I divided my plant in to three and repotted each or because I grew them in the green house sand plunge.
It looks like they are going to set loads of seed. What do I do with it? Sow fresh? Where?

I would scatter half of them in the plunge, Mark … they seem very happy there … and the rest in a pot of gritty compost … very fresh obviously. Good luck.

Thanks Cliff.

Do the seeds drop when green or change colour?
Should I feed the plants? General feed or tomato?

In my limited experience Mark, Buttercups like a scone with jam. :)
Your seed looks lovely and I hope it germinates like mad. We don't seem to get seed here, or not that I've seen. Seed sent to our lists is always tiny and never fertile (of calandrinioides, I mean) so best of luck with it Do you have 2 clones and so have cross pollination? I've wondered if that's the problem here, most plants if not all, being from a single, divided source.
