We do the same with begonia tubers, just let them die back and then either lift and store somewhere frost free and keep dry, or leave them in the post you grew them in this year, same as before. Next spring start them off with some fresh compost and away you go, Simples.
At the moment mine are beautiful, in full flower, just hope they keep on for a few more weeks.
Pam, Thanks for that. I'm ashamed to say I usually just put everything in the compost bin but have now decided that it's a terrible waste so thats what I'm going to attempt to do. Enjoy your crumble - we have Chocolate fudge cake . ( And cream ! )
Ha ha I mean the WASPS !!! The fruit on the bird table is attracting them. I'm really scared of wasps , bees don't bother me at all but wasps - nooooo !
I would Kate - it'll be alright if its just on the turn. We had a little walk down the woods the other day but the blackberries aren't quite ripe yet . Mmm - apple and blackberry crumble . Feeling a bit peckish now.
Frank, I don't do much text speak, prefer longhand and proper punctuation, although I do give in sometimes. You and I can be a bastion of doing it the proper way, although I do use OH.
Oh I do know what OH means, "over head" as in cables, please tell me I am right or I will go outside and may be some time (quote) imagine very icy fore ground back ground and any other which way. Foot appears to be ovate shaped on top where it should be flattish, quite red like nose after indulging on single malt too well, "ah" now that may have brought it all on, one must suffer for ones pleasures. I am going into the kitchen now, no plums so apple crumble, see what happens when I read this post, I get ideas that cause me work when I could have my feet up. "Grrrr"
My daughter has left the candle shop so hopefully she wont have to hear the four candles joke ever again. Shes off to pastures new at uni to do costume and set design for theatre. I will get afternoon tea with Andrew lloyd Webber .yet
Everyone appears to be having fruit crumble ! Why did I buy that chocolate fudge cake. I want crumble now.
Maud - I bet your really proud of her and Frank , you should be resting that foot. Baked potatoes in oven, cheesy mushrooms and lamb chops but sadly no crumble for afters . I'm sure I'll survive.

Pam are you getting the stripey things when you write a post?

I sometimes get stripey lines when I am typing a post thought others may be getting it too

Jean I was feeling peckish after the first crumble comment
