Yes, all pretty good gardengirl. Did the honesty seeds turn out to be variegated? I've got an excellent patch this year so I'll have plenty more. I've got an envelope ready with your name on. There's going to be lots of yellow rattle as well, do you still need some?
Sorry that the stipa I was goung to move and send you a piece of is one of the jobs that didn't get done. There are a lot of jobs that haven't got done.
Hello nut, yes the honesty seeds did turn out to be varigated, thank you. Would welcome more, plus the yellow rattle. Don't worry about the stipa, there are lots of things that I haven't done too.
Could you tell me how to sow the rosa mogenii (?) seeds you sent me before as I haven't got round to sowing them yet, do they need to be soaked or anything? Is it just a case of sowing them straight into compost?
I sowed mine in 2 batches and the over wintered ones did best. Might be worth putting some in the fridge for a while as an artificial winter. But as things are this year they'll probaly be chilled outside. Did I send you enough to do some in the fridge and some in a pot outside? There's still a few here if you need some more.
Don't sow deeply. Light may be required. I covered mine with vermiculite.
Years ago I poured boiling water on rosehips to make rose hip wine. After I strained it I tipped the remains on the garden and a rose forest germinated. Dog roses though, not rugosa but worth considering
