Liz, hi, thanks for the link. if mine smells of jasmine then i can't smell it! i thinki was probably rather too enthusiastic with my pruning! I shall cut it back in winter this time taking care to not be so vicious! It is a lovely climber though!

Don't laugh anyone- one of my callas has a flower coming... better late than never! :rolleyes:

Thanks DaveP (again!) I only see the flowers very briefly first thing in the morning as they're all closed by the time I get home from work. Might grow some and give them away to family and friends. If anyone would like some seeds please let me know as the 2 plants I've got have produced...

Its starting to flower!!!!!!From looks of it may be a Jackmanii, but as I have one of these in the garden it is unlikely I would plant two the same?will post pics when in full bloom - seems everso late, all very odd.

If its from drought, I'm sure it will. If from other causes, then mmmmmmm.Mine lawn was yellow and frizzled in places, even the weeds :D , but its now greening up and needs cutting yet again <sigh>

you're welcome! and if there's anything you've got too much of, chances are I can give it a good home! :D

It WAS there, Rich, believe me! :eek: I now always do Preview Post when I put a link up to make sure it's there. Spooky ... but here goes again ...http://www.llansadwrn-wx.co.uk/garden/hcm/june83.html

So that'll be a case of watch this lack of space then eh Marge?

Have a lovely time, and of course I'll help if you like.

hi Royster, I'm in Co.Down, a wee bit away from Antrim. I we took my mother to Bushmills and she enjoyed the wee half at the end! We're scots too! I'm from Argyll, where are you from?

Hi Dave, You have a super selection there. Good climate there though... Love the way you have them fixed to your trees & shrubs!! Think I am a bit too chilly here... My friend has allot too, some inside & a few outside, (but she is in Cornwall),,, which is what interested me in...

thank you ill wait till the spring because theres loads of blackbirds..pecking in my soil...

Thanks Liz, my Hostas from crocus are lovely, really big and healthy.They arrived really well packaged (the next day), i also bought an acer as a gift, and it was huge and only 15.00, i bought mine from homebase and it's not half as big, so i would def recommend crocus, i've called one of my...

Well done BM, nice to know its doing well

Hi Windy and Fancy, I wish I had room for some edulis!I terms of invasion I do get sneaky run aways which get the wrath of my spade but as long as you keep an eye on them and plant them sensibly, they should be fine. Where ever possible I have created sections where they cannot escape easily....

Nice work Fancy and the Lady of Portuguese Leisure!Kind regards Roy
