I grew rudbeckias irish spring and cherry brandy last year. I found some irish spring seem to have survived the winter. I have a lot of dahlias bishops children, i grew last year and labelled with colours. The red ones seem to have overwintered best. Two dozen stocks to harden off and go out. The odd 8 zinnias, and some gladioli bulbs,left to plant.
Looks great Matty2. Love the variety of plants that you've chosen. Have you worked out heights and which ones should go at the back? I've made a 'best guess' but imagine that mine are a bit jumbled!
Just catching up not notified about the thread - still lots to go out into the flower bed just been so busy trying to get some clearing and digging done on the allotment plot, loads are in the plastic green house some have been hardened off on table out side and some in coldframe
seem to have teasel seeds germinating all over the flower bed that will have to be removed
the shoo fly plant I have are growing really well and look pretty dots on leaves, red stems
I think I need to plant my stuff out soon like very soon, they are very tall now and taking over my conservatory window sill and my little 4 tier growhouse!! Ahhh

Another thought Fidget - physalis - again I have grown them for first time this year and found them easy to germinate etc.
Very autumny
Looking good, Matty, and your OH obviously didn't murder them when you were staying with me!

Mine are jumbled - blocks should show a display - a tall in a block with lower ones around edges, basically to be interesting as well as productive
Not convinced it will work with the productivity I need

How are the cut flower patches coming along? Much growth with this warm spell?
Have managed to have a few little vases for the last couple of weeks. Quite pleased! Tonight's offering...
Have first sweet pea flowers, a bit small blooms, may give a feed next week.
Have planted sunflowers in centre of cutting bed and in centre of courgette bed, I am not sure how wide they will grow.
Photos nexr week as away for few days.
