    I've growing Snapdraggon Twinny Rose, Heliotrope, Lobelia Regatta, Osteospermum Ecklonis, Felicia Heterophylla 'The Rose', Diascia Barberae 'Pink Queen', Lupin dwarf Pink Fairy and Achillea Ptarmica 'The Pearl'.

    I've got seedlings of Meconopsis Sheldonii 'Lingholm', Erysiumum Cheiri 'Ivory White', Aquilegia 'Sweet Rainbow, Foxgloves 'Alba' and Snapdraggon 'Madam Butterfly' going great gun in the greenhouse.

    I've also grown old fashioned sweet peas for the first time, instead of Spencers as I'm hoping to increase the perfume.

    No more seed buying for me, anyone would think I already had my Fantasy Garden rather than a relatively small urban plot.

    I love the Cardoon but tall things here just get blown over, I have to stake anything taller than a daisy..well almostimage

    does anyone recognise these seeds, no label, thought I would remember, big mistake.

    Lyn, I delivered to a house in Crackington Haven, right on the cliff side, ( 28 stairs from gate to house) and his cardoon was the only thing he never had to stake , it was magnificent.

    I've collected some seed from mine this year. Why not pop by when we're home and have a rummage to see if you'd like some. 

    If you run out of room, you can always have a bit of polytunnel space. 

    Catch you when we're home .

    Jeff...I have Elata, is your one a bit different, if so, yes would love some.

  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • Glad to see the cardoon mention has sparked some interest.

    They're great for bees and that's something we should all be thinking of image

    Well, it had to happen, guess what, I didn't have any trailing Petunias for baskets and tubs, just ordered two packets.
