WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN MAY 2018

It's quite hardy especially as mine is in a quarter barrel planter.
There's a powder on them that can irritate you when you prune.
Apart from that I like it.

 

In the greenhouse, despite the great seedling massacre of early April - in which I lost at least 100, a few begonias are clinging on and starting to look somewhat like the ones in the shops.



The tomato plants we were gifted are still confusing me as a novice but are growing and definitely in need of being moved to their more permanent home in their seaweed laden growbag, now we have some canes to support them.


The first successes from the greenhouse are a batch of pansies, which are more my knowledge level, which have now been moved indoors. Another batch of 4 are a few weeks' away.

 

I would say it isn't the plant for you.

I'm fine around it it's only when pruning it that the irritation occurs.

Maybe we should get some one else to prune it?

 

Why not? Who told you about my frailty then ?

I actually have some of these planted around a large bed on site. My mistake was to fill the centre of the bed with other taller plants... the trouble is, I cannot remove the centre tree and shrubs now because the goldcrests favour that spot to nest each year.

 

My Yellow and red Scotch Broom "Pomona" flowering the right time...showing a touch of purple now at the front.

Gail, it doesn`t look like Euonymus - it looks more like Cytisus to me

 

I know I've shown this tulips before but they been my favourite this year and now the daffs are out and they smell divine.
