Hi ladybirdb, Look forward to seeing their progress, always think each year to buy plugs but never get round to it, and very un successful with my attempts with seeds so didn't wanna end up killing young plug plants
What colour are the geum going to be?
Oh Victoria sponge! I'm well jel now! All from seed!!! Gorgeous all of them
Oh winter song what beautiful photographs, I especially love your rose, is it summer wine? I recently posted that as my flower of the summer 2014 Thought at the time my pic was good till I saw yours
The most beautiful scent I agree When will you prune yours and do you tie it in at all and if yes what to? Mine is pretty rampant and I didn't keep on top of it so want to do better by it next year Sorry for all the questions
Hi Victoria Sponge and BizzieB and thanks for your welcome I'm can tell I'm going to like being here and seeing all the great pictures, ideas and information. I've already promised a neighbour some of the plants as she has recently moved in and is starting from scratch; I find it's a great incentive to ensure the plants have the very best of care.
Welcome Ladybird, I saw the offer but really couldnt fit that many in but it seems like a great deal if you need to stock up. Wintersong what fab piccies, love the daisies. Now Victoria re Hollyhocks how do you manage to keep them free of rust. Mine are at the back of the border and each year I spray but cannot keep the rust away. Im rearranging the border for next year so Im hoping to leave a bit more space for them in the hope that having a bit of air circulating will help. Any tips would be gratefully received. Bizzie that veg garden looks great, Ive never grown any but since being on the forum I must admit that Im starting to think it might be a good idea, the problem is I dont have space and I couldnt manage any sort of allotment.
That's nice of you to give your plants away LadybirdB
Hi Yviestevie I don't keep the rust away, sorry I don't have any tips. All my 'hocks are covered with a sprinkling of rust and the slugs and snails have eaten the rest of the leaves. Most of them are obscured by other plants but I have more on the go in case I lose them altogether.
Wasn't it you who put a pic on of a lovely double pink? That looked perfect...
That one is not too bad Victoria but you should see the white one further along the fence its a disaster, they were all new for this year. I think Ill keep the pink but dig up the white, Im growing some chaters salmon which should go in for next year then Im trying Antwerp for the year after I mentioned it on another thread I think, they are supposed to be rust resistant. We'll see.

Welcome LadybirdB
Not having a greenhouse I'm a fan of plug plants, saw those on offer but just don't have room for any more. Look forward to seeing how they develope.

Yes Beaus Mum, it is indeed Summer Wine and such a joy to the senses
The most beautiful scent I agree
