Seeds I have sown today

Pete -

Dendy - ahhhh - yes!!! Are they suitable for cutting?

 

No idea - better ask LoL! :D They're big flowers, but I have no idea what their stems are like.

 

Honey Bee ... here you go ... http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002409#000012

 

Technology is a wonderful thing Pete, I haven't a clue either! :D

 

I thought best not get carried away in our 20 degree weather so I only planted ...

Ipomoea, Crimson Rambler
Ipomoea, Kniola's Black Night
Agastache rupestris, Apache Sunset
Geum, Blazing Sunset
Nepeta transcaucasica, Blue Infinity
Antirrhinum, Brighton Rock
Eschscholtzia, California Poppy
Papaver, Oriental Variety
Papaver, Lilac Pompom
Papaver, Waco's Orange Poppy Thing
... and, last but not least ...
Hr Oberschmidt's "Pretty in Purple" a still unidentified plant from Kedi-Gato

Had to do some weeding first in order to do the above, as all but the Geum, Nepeta and Hr O went directly in the ground ... all in the same place, my pink/orange rockery/border scattered and mixed in front of my fantastic Tecomaria capensis (bright orange) the beautiful Cercis siliquastrum (shocking pink), the Leonotis Leonuris (orange) jand the Callistemon "Flaming Fire"!

This area is already overrun with Oenothera speciosa, the pink Evening Primrose which madly seeds it's everywhere. It's second only for doing so to the Oxalis!

Hopefully some of the above will take and I'll be able to post a vision of pink/orange spendour!

 

I'll get my sunnies ready!!!! Sounds fab!!!!

Thanks for the Cobaea link.... very interesting... I have got Cobaea Scandens from Mr Fothergills, which says the flowers start green changing to cream then on to deep purple. I also read this evening that they need to be kept in the greenhouse until around July, otherwise it'll be too cold before they are ready to flower...

 

Well, my froo-it as I call it isn't ripening yet with all this 20 degree heat! The vine is still blooming and more buds are coming and it's now racing across the roof of the shed!

Honey Bee, if mine do ripen, there will be loads of seeds going if you have to start each year. I know dendro wants some.

 

Sure do! :D

Strongy, you've ruined that nice picture I had of some poor devil coating those seeds by hand.....

 

My 5 year old packet of Achillea are starting to germinate!

 

When I opened my cobea, there were actually two sealed packets of seed inside and I only started 6 from one pack so have loads left over.

 

L-O-L That'll be super if you do get some seeds!! The packet does say they are tender perrenials, so if we get a mild winter, they may survive..... but if they do, I'll probably kill them off some other way!!!! :rolleyes:

Just got home and checked the greenhouse... and my first seedling is up!!!! only took 10 days, hope the other several thousand are following....

 

...from one little seedling comes thousands of other little seedlings... :D

 

Yesterday,i planted First Early Taties,Duke of York.They`d been chitting for about 5 weeks in the GH but to me they looked just the same,except maybe a bit mottley.Time will tell i suppose...I also set the tomatoes away.Gardeners delight,which were lovely last yr and Tigrella(freebies)
Cucumber-Telgraph-3
Colliflower-All year round
Leeks-Autumn Giant.
I was very pleased with myself and went to the pub last night......Today,with a hangover,I chucked all Mr.fizzes junk from the GH out,then i did the Onion Sets but can`t remember what they are(when i split the net bag they tumbled out everywhere)
Petunia- F1(freebies)seed so tiny i`m not sure if any actually made it to the seed tray
Salvia-Blaze of fire(freebies)
Rudbeckia-Toto gold(freebies)and Nemophilla-5 spot,left over from last yr.I`m planning on using the 5 spot in hanging baskets.Anyone tried them?

 

Today: Lettuce-Little Gem
Cayenne peppers
Carnations-Triumph mixed,probably too early but i couldn`t resist
and i potted some spring cabbage up that i got given yesterday.

 

bought some unusual varieties of tomato off ebat mostly from usa types i'd never heard off ponderossa pink ,black pineapple, peach slicer et al they sound mouth wateringly nice never thought they would all germinate on a window ledge but they have will put some in greenhouse and some out side can't wait to taste them !
