Sorry to butt in, but what are the flowers in the photo with prurple and white flowers and pink drumsticks?
do you mea this large plant pale lilac colour is called "cupids dart," the the bees love it.. hard to get rid of thou once you have it.. i have dug this up and moved it several times.. it keeps coming back.. very deep tuber root.. easy to grow from seed.
it sounds like thin paper in the wind.. lovely plant.
Thanks for that, I will ask my local nursery if they stock it.
Hi all, lovely to read all your posts. Those on holiday, I hope you have a great time. Kate, enjoy the wedding and hope the flowers arrive intact after all your hard work.
Dean...some great work going on there, well done.
Excitable boy.....Thornbury Wyevale is about 5 mins away from me so you must live close! I went there between Xmas and New Year and bought several bargains in their sale including a beautiful Hellebore for £3.50 which has flowered really well. At the moment the forecast is not too bad for us this weekend so will hopefully beable to spend hours outside
@Gardeningfanatic and Lilylouise......wow your greenhouses look amazing, im sooooo jealous lol. I came home to a disaster today, As well as a small greenhouse, i have one of those mini ones with the polythene covers. Unfortunately a couple of days ago the zip broke and the 'door' has been flapping about so I turned it around to face the wall hoping to protect it but alas today it all blew over, seed trays and seedling everywhere and the puppy having a great time running through the lot As I was behind with all my seeding anyway this has set me back even further. Think my garden will be an embarrassment this year! Can anybody loan me a fairy with an efficient wand????
So sorry to hear about your disaster, Woo---but you seem to have the right attitude. We have all faced disappointments in our gardening endeavors--having everything wiped out by hungry deer springs to mind-luckily, the season is young yet!

What a terrible shame
This weather really is ghastly.
@Rob and Wintersong. Managed to salvage sunflowers but the other seedlings were just too small and fragile
The puppy was the only one who had any fun!
Never mind, nothing more I can do about it now.....onwards and upwards
