Hi Guys! Back From Newcastle! Test passed! Certiticate issuued! Job done!!! Been a few busy days back on the plot being away from it! But the hard work now almost done n looking forward to the turn up n potter for an hour scinario!!
Dean- that looks fab-so well-organized and well-built. Give yourself a pat on the back!
Figrat, that little beauty is a bromeliad[can't remember the name], but they are hardier than you would think. One winter I forgot mine in a pot outside for the whole winter, and it not only survived-it thrived and made lots of pups! Now I just put a couple of pups in the greenhouse for insurance.
Gold1locks, thanks for that-I realized that mine isn't Black Lace after all ; has a coarser leaf- but a friend has one I have always lusted after, so I think I'll beg some cuttings.

Runner bean.
Just one leaf - I wouldn't panic...yet! Maybe the seedling got a bit dry in the heat?
Here's the overwintered shoots:
And the ones ready to go out:
And some dwarf french beans that went out about a month ago:
When I was wandering round doing the bean shoot, some other things caught my eye. Mme Alfred's getting in full swing.
I love these irises.
And I liberated this little beauty from the greenhouse:
Courgette looking happy - she's surrounded by climbing mangetout Carouby de Maussane, which has such pretty pink/purple flowers...eventually!
And won't be long before the broad beans....
Inkadog, propagating Sambucus Black lace is easy - take hardwood cuttings, just like you woudl with buddlejas.
Black Lace is 'patent protected' but that only matters if you were intending to sell the plants under the 'Black lace' name.
