I only planted mine out last week. They are currently about 8 inches tall.
I intend dropping a few seeds in at the base of the sticks. If the voles don't eat them, I'm hoping for late flowers.
I have six copper jugs on the way from ebay, for putting the flowers in for the wedding. I bought brass polish tonight. A fair bit of elbow grease needed I think.
GG, I'm growing cornflowers, clarkia, larkspurs, calendula, lavatera Silver Cup, Balsamina, Cosmos, Ageratum Blue Mink and Zinnias. The plants at the top right are peas for eating.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hi, cut flowers seem to be coming on brilliantly for folks. After the daffs, snow drops and muscarri have gone, I've got a few sweat peas on the go, but nipped out tonight and cut some wild cow parsley, as suggested by Sarah Raven. Looks and smells lovely. I'm delighted!
My first batch of cosmos and ammi majus are planted out now. Dahlias, delphiniums, centaurea, astrantia, nigella, sweet peas, knautia and roses are all full of promise. Zinnia, sunflowers and larkspur are all growing on ok. Cutting patch...my whole garden is a cutting patch!
That vase looks lovely Tootles. Must pop some in a vase myself. your sweet peas are way ahead of mine But I've got some roses starting to bloom. this time of year is so exciting
