Alpine Gardening

Why I don't DRINK beer medear I'm a lady @Anthony Rogers ya

Ouch It was just a thought. It is rare, but there is seed that should not dry out or it will lose its viability.

My condolences but how lovely that you have the magnolia. I'm sure it will bring you years of joy and sweet memories.

That's it, Zigs. Wall Pennywort. It's only just started to throw a flower shoot. Thanks.

Thanks i will do that

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Rhana

I agree with that, I will only buy plants arrived that day or at a push 1 day old, in there Sunday and they had loads of dead and dying Fuchsias.

Kristen. The labels are for outdoor use. (Just seen your post now.) :(

Looking forward to following your project Trever.

Thanks again. The problem I have is finding a nursery that will deliver to the island and when I do they want to rob me for the postage. I'll go 'surfing', blimey, haven't used that word in a while and see what's out there.

So glad I got this painted yesterday as this morning its bucketing of rain .

Now all planted up just away now to plant up my alpine planters .

The only ones I have ever seen have been on the show bench and very definitely grown under cover.

whats your soil like? sandy? when did you plant them and when did they fade away?

Hello there Time For window boxes I would go for a mixture of alpine plants that flower at different times of the year also amongst them I would plant some dwarf bulbs....together they would give you such a wonderful show. Helen.xxx.

Thank you Walnut for your advice if I had known about the wire netting before I started I would have gone with that, didn't want a smooth look at all. Oh well you live and learn... the sink is finished now just gotta wait for Bob to catch me up! Helen.xxx.

Thanks everyone The little alpines look super cute and some are even starting to flower already.
