Ok here thanks Sam apart from the cold. I put all the pots of cuttings back in the greenhouse, they've been in and out a few times now. I think they've had more than enough water so they can stay for a bit now. I can just about move about in there to check for germinations.
I dont really sow annuals half hardy or otherwise apart from the initial first plant. I bought an Astrantia M 2yrs ago and notice last year I had new plants, I think there was 4 so I will replant them abit more spaced out in Spring then hopefully in another couple of yrs there will be a nice clump.
Hmmm. Im new to the flower side of sowing and need as much advice as poss lol.
Yeah, all good here Nutcutlet. Busy as a bee. I have a loan of a second greenhouse so getting that ready at the moment. Snow here tomorrow...or so they say but it was like a spring morning today. Probably lulling us into a false sense of security mind you lol. Any more seeds popping up?
I had that last Friday -2 on Thursday Friday +16 so sat in the garden for an hour soaking it up, I never get chance the rest of the year. Sat till Tuesday cold north wind then last night snow so beware as my husband said Germany and France got snow last night too so cld be heading for you next.
Well, its to hit Yorkshire and miss out Scotland which would be great but knowing my luck, just as the garden is drying out for the past couple of days, it will snow here again lol
Bitterly cold here but the sun was shinning so thought Id better go shopping in case I get snowed in again. Glad I did! all the new bulbs are in the shop so came home with a bag full. I got 10 new lillies called Innocent Lady its white and double has anyone got it. Ive searched the internet and only 2 sites in the USA come up, I tried uk search and nothing!. They seem expensive over there as 6 were about $32 I think around £20 - I payed £10 for 10. Also bought Nerines and some Regal lilys a nice white dahlia only small flowered tho (dont like the really big ones) and Childanthus lovely perfumed yellow flowers. Got some more seeds, here they are 12p a pkt I think cheaper than the UK. Ammi visnag Nicotina sylvestris and Euphorbia Marginata the leaves are variagated. I dont know if you can grow that over there as it cant take v wet soil so I think thats most of the UK ruled out

Here in the east we can usually grow the euphorbia. Last year was a washout.

From what I heard it was for alot of things.
Too right. I still have water half way up my wellies in places. It will be interesting to see what survives all this wet in a usually dry area
