    We are all thinking of growing flowers that we can cut and bring indoors to enjoy,making nice arrangements

    So areas in gardens have been put aside for growing flowers to do that and flowers that are good to use have been picked to sow and grow

    Just nice to be able to see what we can grow and enjoy in lots of areas in pots/ vases/ tins/ milk bottles - anything we can use to put them in

  • Oh thats a great idea, ive no space in my front garden to do that, its quite small, maybe think of something, would love to do that.

    Thanks GG xxxximageimageimage

  • Calendulas, Zinnias, Stocks, Aquilegeas, Delphiniums, Hollyhocks, all coming along nicely in the greenhouse. Foxgloves and Poppies already planted out, so lots of plants to look forward too!!imageimage

    Apologies Christine 007

    Small still can be done - lovely pots and containers either with a mix in each or would look great with single varieties in different shades in each pot. Don't foget can always go up as well

    I love that everyone's seedlings are coming on. I'm going to plants a few more seeds in the heated prop tomorrow. 

    Wanted to share these photos if I may. Lovely flowers bought for me by my mum yesterday. This is why I can't wait to have a cut flower patch. If i can produce anything nearly as nice as these I'll be doing cartwheels down the lane! They just make me smile and feel very lucky that we have nature to produce such natural pleasures.

    Don't forget vases for your cut flowers. Charity shops and e bay are good sources. I have several cut crystal I only paid a couple of quid for.
