    Good morning all image G'day Pat if you're around image

    Pdoc image Verdun posted yesterday evening about blueberries and scented plants - I think that otherwise he's been  busy eating that huge chocolate egg he found - and he mustn't talk with his mouth full must he? image

    I sowed some seeds on Saturday - both lots of Cosmos are up already - very chuffed especially as one of them was an old packet I bought from Wyevale's sale of out of date  stock and then left in a box for several years - it's a deep pink that they say changes to a bronze as it ages https://www.sarahraven.com/flowers/seeds/cosmos/cosmos_bipinnatus_antiquity.htm

    Looking forward to seeing it image

    Morning all and those to come, and afties Pat.

    Looks like we've had a frost judging by the cars along the road. Cloud now. 

    Glad doc is ok, although the neighbour might be more difficult to deal with than the flood  image

    The seeds I sowed last night aren't up yet Dove...that's a poor show....image  image

    Salt mines for me - have a good day everyone.Stay warm, dry and  safe image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Morning all.

    Woke to a frost, which I was not expecting. Now very grey, more rain to come.

    A salutary lesson...... I was wondering why the seeds in 1 of my propagators were not doing anything. This morning I put my hand inside, and the base was almost hot enough to fry an egg!

    Have a good day.

  • Morning all, sunny morning at the moment not a lot of gardening today, solicitors to see trying to sort out dad's estate image and keeping mum calm.

    Have a good day everyone.

    If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

    Morning all. Grey and showery.

    Dove "Antiquity" is the cosmos I'm growing, but I started it on a windowsill and they went leggy. They are now in the GH and growing their real leaves. Does anyone know if you can bury the stems a bit when potting up, like you do with tomatoes?
