  • Rosemummy, can't really guess what may have gone wrong with your SPs, other than what I mentioned before.

    Dove, those are really stunning examples...nice large blooms. image

    Grumpy face! The only thing looking really good in my garden is jasmine, at least that smells divine too whole garden in need of some serious taking in hand

    Would hugs help?...Don't get downhearted, rosemummy. image Perhaps we'll stake it step by step next time.  image

    Humph. I thought I did take all your advice, but I do tend to always rush things, and often I don' t do them properly, my excuse is that there's always someone crying or yelling " mummy!!! " so my concentration is on par with a gnat. Maybe they' ll improve, if not there' s always next year, and yes, a hug helps thank you

     Two of my 'best' sweet peas I cut today, there aren't that many flowers yet so I have out them in a vase with my 'cheap' sweet peas so they won't get lonely image

  • Will I ever get you out of this pampering  mind-set?  image

    Probably not David, I'm a mummy but even you have to admit they look a bit lost in their own?  Anyway, they don't smell much so I've put them with the smelly ones image

    Can you guess the varieties and no cheating!! image

  • Well, if these super SPs fall below expectations, I'll need to speak to Mr Eagle....my reputation is on the line here. (no appropriate smiley)

    I don't think they are meant to have much scent David, I bought them for their prettiness image
