WHAT'S LOOKING GOOD IN JUNE 2018

Beautiful, nature at its best I've actually seen red poppies on road verges this year, just gorgeous! Thanks @luciusmaximus

 

Yes you need whistle four 6ft in pink...I mentioned two might need moving but he won't have it now they're in

 

Don't you need a digger to get them out? Don't let hubby do his back in! You need him to buy the seeds

 

Well put it like this it will be a show and a half when they produce flowers ….don't you start about him working I have enough with neighbours saying i'm sticking him in an early grave

 

Brilliant thanks. I did pop the packets folded into a Tupperware container and shoved it in back of wardrobe lol But just needed to be sure.

 

Most seeds stay viable for years, there are exceptions obviously but year old seeds will almost certainly be as good as this year
I keep mine in the (unheated) kitchen, in various old biscuit tins
If you're interested, now is the time to start sowing biennials and perennials to plant out autumn or next spring

 

Hi Verdun, not sure about its reliability at flowering only got it last year so 1st year flowering, I grow it in a pot. I don't really grow large flowered clematis but I got this in memory of one of our Westies Bonnie.

 

I bought two Poppy plug plants and they have grown amazingly well. I also discovered I have more Poppies that have seeded into my garden that I didn't realise were there, blown in on the wind or transported by birds maybe. Lots of Poppies this year and hopefully they will spread all over the garden.

 

Lucius if they do...you will have a glorious display amongst your other plants mate

 

Thanks Ian....always lovely to have plants in the garden in memory of pets and people

 

Bloomin' hot

A few grasses. Miscanthus Variegatus

 

Helictotrichon S......been flowering for weeks now

 

Hordeum Jubatum......the flowers catch colours of red, pink, cream etc. as they sway. Makes tennuissima look bland

 

Elymus magellanicus

 

Stipa Tennuissima and Hordeum Jubatum
