I was going to sow my hardy stuff today but more garden is disappearing under water so I rescued plants instead. Will sow tomorrow. Cleaned up the bench ready and bought some new seed compost.
budlia, hebe grows from seed but the pretty named varieties may not come true.
Not my favourites but the bees like them. I don't think I've got many left now. We had a big Midsummer Beauty that took over the drive and had to go, I've got a small one now, placed where it can expand without blocking the way. It seeds about a bit and they look more or less true.
Wow, this is still goin strong eh? Fantastic. I am waiting on a delivery of all my new aquilegia seeds just now. 6 packs and post for 10...brilliant I will be sowing my Mugwort tomorrow I think and am working in my journal later to see what else needs done Hope everyone is well and not all flooded out to badly?
We are still seeds swapping and even some cuttings great going from all.
Where the weather is warmer outside than last year I am doing a few things outside but not many still bit cold - collecting some seeds and trying to sow some and feeding the birds. Lots of bulbs popping up from the ground now and in my pots which is nice to see.
Me sorting out buying a few seeds as have a voucher from plants I brought that ending up changing not what I wanted but still good plants some new seeds I will try and buy.
I went out to play today. A morning in the greenhouse. Sowed all the stuff that needs to chill out.
I have Dactylocapnos scandens left over. Previously known as either Dicentra macrocapnos or D. scandens. I've never been able to tell the difference between the two, Little dangling clusters of yellow flowers on a climber. perennial, likes shade, not too dry. Looks very delicate but is hardy. Anyone want?

I have never grown hebes from seed only from cutting of plants in my garden or brought them from garden centres.
Cuttings are easy to do and I like growing them that way
Do you like hebes?

Hi Gardengirl,
I shall have more as the season moves on. I was very idle with the seed collection this year. New Year's Resolution: Collect the seeds.
