    Join me on a tour around my conservatory on this 1st May.
    It looks more like a greenhouse at the moment but that will change when plants start to get put out for the summer.
    Mentha Indian Mint is the first plant you see in one of my hanging baskets.

    These are few Geranium cuttings I took from stock I overwintered in the conservatory, It looks like I will have a bumper crop this year. I have some flowering outside already and later you will see a picture of cuttings I took at the end of last season and keeped them on in the conservatory.

    Just a single cut and come again lettuce in a pot as a trial.

    Cucumber and pepper are looking great and took to their new home very well.

    These are young Armish tomatoes, looking a bit yellowish at the moment but they will be fine once outside against the south wall and in big pots.

    The old favorite, lobellia. I have several planted up in baskets.[​IMG]

    The conservatory table is also loaded up with propagation units. Lobellia, Swan river daisies, rosemary, runner beans, astors, gazanias, viola, pansies and Hibiscus under the lid.
