I have just planted out loads of stuff I can't even remember what I have planted out but it gave me a work out as I trimmed the box hedge and the owed the lawn too! yay me!
Got back from New York last night. My cut flower bed has gone mad. It was very warm here in Dordogne while we were away and the housesitter watered it.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hello, how are the cut flower patches doing? My main problem is that they look so pretty in the patch that I don't want to cut them! Loving my vases today though. Getting better at arranging!
not got notifications about the thread just noticed a post to look
Busy-Lizzie super flowers there to cut
Matty2 do really like what you have picked for button holes, great cut flower patch
Tootles great cut flower patch know what you mean about it looking good and not wanting to cut them - think I will try some cut flowers today few things in flower, not done enough really liking them out side too
let us know what you have in flower Gardengirl. I'm really happy with the aim majus. I was worried that it would just look like cor parsley but it doesnt and is so pretty in a vase.
matt2 - especially like your third combo of flowers. So pretty.
I know what you mean about not cutting Gardengirl. The only thing I'm putting into vases are Cosmos and Sweetpeas, and that only because of if you don't remove, you lose.
Funniky enough I took a photo of my patch today thinking It's ages since I posted.
No sign of the ammi but a neighbour has a splendid display of it
Here are miy annuals and the sunflowers are just beginning to show
I have been practicing making up bunches of flowers and tying them with twine. I thought that the bunches could then be made up before wedding, put into oasis and then just bunches put in the jars etc instead of arrangements which are so time consuming.
The sunflower is a short variety that is supposed to be pollen free!

How about this for cut flowers while out at a Stansted garden show ( near Chichester) they had cut flowers in the chapel - so pretty
Love those blues Gardengirl. Really pretty!

My cutting flower bed is looking messy but it is producing, along with the perennials in the rest of the garden.
Bouquets using the annuals and the perennials
These are the flowers to be used for the buttonholes next year
Just a pretty mix of flowers
This annual flower was new to me - very pretty - It is called Orlaya, as you can see at present the stems are very short
The sunflowers are just slug fodder so am unsure how to go with them, the gysophilia need to grow in a large pot as it is very floppy
