Your right Pete, gonna forget, so will just note that all seeds of all tropicals will need to be harvested - just one knot :D

Hi All Sorry I have not been involved much here over the summer.I have neglected you all and my garden. I ended up doing a critical care course.With limited computer skills and not a great deal of experience with acute patients I have been stressed out. I am now back in the land of living and...

Lovely pictures Petal, despite the rain, looks you had a good time. Thanks for sharing

I agree with what you are saying fran, but at this time of year the very old leaves from last winter can look terrible at this time of year. I have found no harm has come by removing these, as you still have the growth they put on after flowering & very soon the new shoots will start to appear...

:D

The dodgy looking fella is Titan my shepherd boy. I bought him with some money refunded from a Titan holiday that was disappointing. He looks great with snow on his hat.

Spot on Pete and Ladybird with the crinondendron.. It gets quite cold up here in the winter but shrub is well established and gives a marvellous display every May. My next post was going to be how do I chop it down. It is now about 20ft high and 10ft wide and has outgrown its little corner. I...

I know it's wrong to laugh at others misfortunes but it was worth all your effort just to see your graemlin LOL

I know :eek:But they are gorgeous. You should sweet talk LadybirdI think I'll stick to looking at the pictures (for a while yet anyway)

I think the brolly is not quite large enough michaelmas daisy :D

Ooh that brought back such lovely memories!A while ago I lived in a flat about half a mile away from a river and mill pond and every afternoon in the summer we used to get from four to fourteen dragonflies dancing around in front of our windows!Ain't nature lovely!

Great pictures Rich, I trust your wife now knows of your plans with the shed :D

Sandy just georgous, just such a piy they don't last so long. I had 5 bulbs given to me, were deep red and gre 4ft tall and very heavily scented.... I thought , it was my Plumeria near by...which has flowered now for 11 weeks non stop and lots more buds to come...Ladybird

:D only joking

Hi all, thank you for your compliments. It is planted with love, I think, a handful of family to help with the work & 3 generations of family to consume. :D :D :D It is hard work but there is nothing like fresh from the garden. We are blessed with the most wonderful light...

Your garden looks sooo tidy!!

I can definitely spy some improvement there.

Hi Arwyn Its usual to use a sulphur candle at the end of the growing season or late winter/early spring before things get going. Are you leaving your green house behind & "cleaning" it for the new people (aah, that's really thoughtful )? If you want to do it in December/January time, thats...

Yes as Fran said, drop them in again just a bit deeper and keep them well watered and staked...if nothing else, at least you get them back next year and possibly seeds this year. -------- Ladybird

Cheers Nathan/PeteNow where did I put that camera
