I've got a white Jacob's ladder in flower now, when it's finished raining I'll take a pic. Have never tried harvesting seed from it, but if you give me a few hints I'm happy to have a go.
@figrat.. thank you you are a star.. to be honest i have not of these plants either.. as i have none but if you wait till seed head is big as possible on last flower..then just nip it off and send to me.. i can message you my address and pay postage. if you like.
Hi Guy's! I love the posts, pictures, banter n knowledge you all share, n thought it was time I came out of the wings n joined in! I have a bit of a dilemma n hope sombody can help! I and a good friend have recently took charge of a new allotment n decided we are gunna have a go at building our own polytunnel! Although not huge! We reckon it will meet our demands until our site is established! In the long term, we may invest, but they ain't cheap! Yeah! we are in early development! But having trailed the tinterweb with regards to the covering! It's mind blowing! We have never polytunneled before! So are totaly new to it! Anybody done it? Recomend a supplier? n what grade of polythene do ya buy? Thanks in anticipation! Cause we ain't got a clue!!!
Hi Dean glad that you have decided to say hello. I have no knowledge of polytunnels at all, I believe it is quite a specialist area but I am sure that someone will be able to offer some advice soon.
Kate - When are you heading down to Cornwall? Have you made enough flowers yet?
It's 4:30am here but I've been awake for ages. That's what comes of going to bed too early! I keep wishing it was time for the hotel to serve breakfast as a bit of vegemite toast would go down a treat.
Dean- Is that the start of your polytunnel? It looks very impressive. My dad is always wishing he had one. Again, I have no personal knowledge of them because my garden is not big enough.
@ gardeningfantic - got your pm, can't reply at present as am on iPad and not all options available! Will be interested re seed collection. Have sailed past your place quite a few times, but don't worry, I won't chuck them overboard.

I must keep up, Geoff. Thanks for the update. I'll say hello to Kate when she comes to Cornwall
I love Gardenfantic's Cupids Dart. I must try and get some seed. Not too many summer flowering blue flowers.

KG Vegimite- yuk, do you not carry emergency biscuits? I will be heading to Cornwall on Friday, only 3 more flowers to go.
