Well I spent a whole day up a lilac tree cutting out the dreaded tree ivy the other day, most of the time I just wanted to throw myself out of the tree but I got there in the end.
BTW why Hellebores inside? They are totally hardy. I'd just tuck the pots next to a wall outside & leave them be. They do take for ever to germinate, but best from fresh seed. So if your dont want to show this time perhaps try again with some seed from this yrs flowers? I've got a few pots of 'babies' from my Ashwood plants. Wonder what they'll be like? J.
My hellebore babies came from large plant , found million seedlings under plant , got them all into modules and forgot them in cold greenhouse , took couple yrs but are now in flower the ones I kept and same as main plant
Thanks Jo ! Re the Hellebore's, it just said on the seed packet that they had to be between 15 and 22c for germination for 4 weeks then they could go outside, so as I've never grown these before I just did as it said on the instruction's
It's the Spring Equinox tomorrow so we will be getting more daylight, so at the weekend I shall be putting my solar lights out as long as it doesn't snow last year I had to keep charging the batteries as there was never enough daylight to top the batteries up and I do like the garden lit at night, I hope we do get some Summer this year.
