It will not be noticeable after a while Rich,although that stem will remain and grow thicker. I think plants grown from seed will always have that different appearance at ground level as opposed to plants from cuttings. The leaf shape will also change to the usual flatterned type after a year...

I covered a cut down sanguinea with a large flower pot filled with straw last winter. It survived, but regrew from underground suckers, its not however made enough growth to flower, due to the stopping of growth in mid summer. The suckers do root easily, something that seems very difficult to...

Thanks Frogesque I've made a note of the name. I've been meaning to grow some from seed for years and now we have room I think I'll have a go. I assume that it's the Physali alkekengi that I should be looking for?

I have also just planted 'Queen of the Night' Tulips in plastic troughs. Instructions were 12cm deep and 8cm apart I managed to get 7 in each trough (about 0.5m long) along with a dozen or so Nacissi 'Minow' Used a 50/50 mixture of my own compost and commercial peat free compost.Generally...

I remember Tony Clements, he was the man for african violets a few years ago, never went there but heard about it. Pity he packed it all up. :(

Hi Rudy.You have done well with your Pumpkins.I took the flowers off of a lot of mine,so that they would get big,and we don't even eat the blessed things. We did well with the French Beans,but not so good with the runners,due to the hot weather. We have done very well with carrots and Beetroot...
