re the blue berries i currently have in pots and waiting to put in the garden. Last year was my first year and don't think i got one berry on the honey one so can not say how fowl or not they are yet
maybe birds will like them
i think the pink ones tasted just like regular ones.
Aym try wyevale as they still have a lot of fruit in the discounted sections and good size plants x
This time from Peter Nyssen (think I've heard good things):
More salvia caradonna
several bare root 'beauty of livermere' poppies
stipa tenuissima
I really need to stop buying!
The previous order turned up, can't wait to plant out the witch hazel but may be asking advice if I need to prune when I do - its a bit 'leggy' (if that's the correct term for a shrub).
Have just ordered a load more plug plants from another nursery. Have used them before and everything arrives in a good state of health. https://www.jardinexpress.fr/
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm trying to be good, but I noticed a hayloft 2017 catalogue on the floor by the letterbox today - there are some amazing looking things in there! I usually buy from T&Monday to be honest, I like their deals. I really need to stop buying as I have a large shoe box FULL of seeds Im not sure what to do with yet, as well as too many bare roots shrubs in a waiting pot in the garden. My garden is only tiny as well. Once I've sorted things in the next few weeks I'll be okay with buying too much again- if I don't give in and buy things now. Why are there so many wonderful plants?
I'm with you there Tigrah - I too received a Hayloft catalogue today with some very tempting and unusual plants pictured in it. My reluctance to order is because most companies either don't send to the Channel Islands or the postage is so astronomical that I cannot justify paying it. I will see what turns up at the local DIY store and GC this year and I have received some wonderful seeds from Forum members, plants that I would probably never have considered growing myself. Can't wait to see which ones grow into good plants.

I've just bought the pink one but I've not tried the fruit, I live in hope.

suggest some good online site for buying lilies and dahlias please
last year i bought a whole lot from wilko. This year looking for some special ones and not a bulk buy.
dreaming of some big white fragrant lilies, and really bright red dahlia and some bronze leaf dahlia with red little flowers .......

Aym - is it mainly annuals that you grow ? (apart from the streps)
