Busy bee, so much to envy you for, but your grapes I can't even get sour ones, you lucky thing (sorreeee, couldn't resist. shall i get me 'at)
Verdun, i did so not actually really swear at you. If I add amazing pork crackling to the yorkie puds will you love me again?
Can I add access to any farmyard poo to my list of envy? And Edd's knowledge of composting and worms. But it won't be envy when you start that new thread, WILL IT, EDD??? not that I'm nagging or anything
I must admit to not being a fan of 'true' blue flowers usually, although I do love flowers such as bluebells (which are more purple). However those blue ones above look beautiful and I think would go lovely with yellows or pinks, I've no idea what they are of course but they look pretty
Gardenjeannie - actually, we did get some sour grapes on the front of the house last year, but I think I have pruned the vine too late this year, and the sap will have been rising, so have probably made a grave error. They were no use to man nor beast. Even the birds didn't bother. Tracie, if you meant the bottom picture of my four (cut and pasted from t'internet I hasten to add, not grown by yours truly!!) it is the mecanopsis. From the top they are ceanothus (an amazing shrub/bush/tree which is covered in blue in early summer I think - I have failed to grow it both here and in another garden), the second is a gentian. I have only ever seen one of these up in the Italian Alps - they are pretty rare I believe. The third is just a hardy geranium (I think they will grow anywhere!), and the fourth is our subject for debate - the mecanopsis, which I think comes out April or May, but how would I know, since I have failed with it completely....! BTW, in case any of you didn't see my other thread, here is the greenhouse so far....!

Oh yes, totally. Just not with each other. Meconopsis would look lovely with marigolds!
Stacey- they look good healthy seedlings. Mine are starting to shoot. They are sitting in the lounge by the window. Obviously the heat has helped

Is that what the bottom picture is Verdun? I will put it on my list for next year, I had better not buy any more this year
My Himalayan blue poppies are just starting to emerge from the soil.
