** Gardening 2008 **

What you gonna grow and where you gonna go ? :D

 

I will be trying to grow banana from seeds. Maybe you can give me some tips banana man.

Apart from that, I will try to grow a few new bedding plants and vegetables from seeds.

Luffa cylindrica
Hanging basket tomato 'Tumbling Tom'
Salvia splendens Nana
Chrysanthemum
Rubedckia Moreno
Dimorphotheca summertime mix
Salvia Horminum
Mesembryanthemum sparkles mix

 

I haven't done them from seed but Marley Farley has.

I am going to try sweetcorn again, for no other reason than the last time I did sweetcorn it attracted so many Ladybirds ?

 

thanks.

 

More than growing for me it is a matter of what will survive...
anyway, at the moment I have got some ABELMOSCHUS MANIHOT which are doing quite well (indoors, on the windowsill...), then I have some peppers , tomatoes not yet but they are quite a safe bet, and I am hoping for watermelons...!
Aside from that, I just have received some more succulent little plants from my ever faithful Beatrix Potter fan in Italy, of which I will show you the pictures anytime soon...

 

Strangely enough I will be growing some new acers
I have just planted Taylor, Kagera and Lionheart
I will be searching Esvelds Dutch site for more goodies when I return from holiday in February
It is great to be able to look forward to that

 

I will continue to grow different types of brugmansias,hibiscus,fuchsias(boliviana),palms, stelitzia and other tropicals.

 

:D

I am going to do my tomotoes earlier in 2008 as without a greenhouse they came to nothing this year really. :rolleyes:

 

Must be really difficult for you Nina, growing tomatoes, bananas and (from the schizophrenia symptoms) marijuana without a greenhouse.

 

John, what worries me is that you know how to spell it :eek: :D

I am going to try sweetcorn again next year, didn't do too well this year, I think I need to start earlier, same with tomatos. I also want a Peony for an area just out of the kitchen window, I think they have the most beautiful flowers, other than that am not sure yet as I am very much a gardening beginner
