Hyppybyker good luck with the veg, I am not finding it as easy as it looks.
Great photos Yvie.
Geoff I have checked my forecast no frost predicted here??
Wintersong I would also love some sculpted plants, I bought a box last year for £2 in a sale and in a couple of years I hope to get a nice shape
Oddity- a month ago I had a couple of leggy begonias, I was advised to hard prune and that has worked out well. I put the cuttings in water and they have produced roots plus they have produced leaves on the bottom of their stems, completely covered in water. I thought leaves needed air?
Ooh - didn't look like it on Country File's weather, will be vigilant. Thanx Geoff. Tho I do hold with the old adage about not exposing either myself or my tender plants until May is out
Thanx Kate - sounds like you're a flower person as well! Hope t'otherarf doesn't expet me to accept responsibility for the blighters EEk! maybe I shouldn't have said that
I saved some begonias from my baskets last year and 3 out of 4 are OK and growing
Ah, Country FIle only went to Thursday. But although Manchester is only 20 odd miles away but I'm nestled on the Cheshire Plain in Northwich so we avoid the worst of the weather in the region - more like Stoke really. The only things I'm really desperate to plant out are Sweet peas and a couple of sunflowers (which are getting to tall for the coldframe) but I think I'll wait a couple more weeks ss I've grown some specimen ones this year.
I've was given 3 Bish of Llandaff last year which have overwintered well and a couple of yellow/orange ones, 1 of which has roots but no shoots so I've potted it deeper s I'm hopeing for a good display thie year Look forward to seeing pics of yours & Kate's
Just sorted out compost bins. Now have 1 dalek with stuff ready for use, 1 in the process and 1 empty which I'll start filling when I can summon up energy to clear bed of psb and flowering land cress.

Kate and I have similar tastes- dahlias are our faves-I saved begonias from last year as well but won't tell you how many are growing

Figrat-psb??
And there is a plant id that requires your attention
For some reason the site is kicking me out completely when I put in either Northwich or post code - will try again from home
Figrat, 3rd dalek sounds like a good idea...
err what's psb?
psb purple sprouting brocolli
