Always enjoy Monty's relaxed way of explaining things and encouraging one to do something. Knowng how busy he is with tours and talks and the programme it is good to see him 'just sitting'. A lovely moment with Nigel.
I hadn't realised that Hostas had such a fragrance. I'm dividing mine today so will take notice in future. Have just the one, neglected and pot bound I'm shamed to admit. It always blooms every year though. Agree about their garden flumpy, oh to have that space and to walk amongst such plants (Sigh ) Will have to be content with garden visits.
Agapantha from seed is quite something Marion, you really have got green fingers - and toes . I'm crossing my fingers (and toes too) in hoping that I repotted my Agapanthas tight enough to get blooms this year.
So very mild in Bristol today from the start but rain forecast for very soon. It is a tad windy. Secret of growing agapanthus from seed is to sow them very fresh. My SA fb friend when she visited me took seeds of mine home and soon sent me pics of them germinated. The Bot. Garden in Bristol have some beautiful varieties including small ones and very dark blue ones. This morning I will clean up some decent labels for my plants for the plant stall at Easter as I shall need about 30 labels, First I will have to tour the garden to find superfluous ones there, wash, dry, erase old name, then write on name of new plant. I have decided one of the three pittosporum trees I had for Xmas is enough in a half acre garden so the rest will be offered for sale to some keen flower arranger! I hope the people who buy my gazania plants enjoy them as much as I did last year. They are one perennial that just keeps giving.
Awe yes it makes me feel happy, we've created life (if that makes sense) , and now I'm happy because I've encouraged you to grow your seeds now Good luck
Labels all done but wild windy wet weater now so will tidy up in the conservatory and see what is growing. I know my broad beans I sowed last Sunday are up like your sweet peas, flumpyi.
Hi that takes me back (playing indoors) , yes it's wet wet wet here too, going picking a painting up today, it's called "At the beach", it reminds me of cornwall, then off to do food shopping.
hey can't believe how much my sweet peas have grown again, I have five now, hopefully there should be twelve popping there little heads up

Noticed last evening that the Hellibore has shed its seed
so must keep checking for plantlets by summers end.
The evening was darkening but managed this photo of the pink blossom on the tree at the front of the house
good to see more buds to open
Oops! Edit
