Promises, promises.

Hello everyone.Hope your all fit and well.Got back from honeymoon tuesday morning to find my aquilegias at deaths door.A fiend promised me faithfully he would water the greenhouse whilst we were away.They were my first time and from seed this yr.I was gonna put them in the ground now for flowers next yr but as it`s my first time i don`t know if it`s normal for them to die back now or are they gonners? Please help,Elaine.

 

Don't panic, Elaine! (And congrats on the wedding, BTW!) Aquilegias are perennials, and they die down for the winter, setting seed like crazy as they do it. :rolleyes:

I'd plant them in the soil - they'll do better there.

If you look around the soil in their area, I'll bet you'll see a few new little ones growing! If you want to keep some seed, take the heads off, and keep them - they probably won't run true, but they'll grow well enough. You get loads in every seed head, trust me! :D

 

Oh, thankyou dendrobium. I thought i`d lost the lot. :D

 

congratulations elaine hope you had a lovely wedding ,are we getting to see some pictures?
that would be lovely

 

Congrats Elaine, lets see were you went (Turkey?) and what you got up to, sightseeing I mean! :D

 

Welcome back, Mrs elainefiz. I want to see photos too and to know how all your babies were whilst you were away having it off, so to speak! :D

 

Hi Elaine hope you and your new hubbie had a wonderful time getting upto what all newly weds do hope you had the time to take some pictures.

I bet you're pleased to know you have not lost you plants after all.

Good luck with your gardening and your new married life!

Helen.xxx.

 

Thank`s everyone.I`m so relieved they aren`t gonners. :D
I`m afraid i forgot to take the digital camera to Turkey. It`s probably a good thing as we we were tied up with other things.(So to speak.)
I have, however, finally received the wedding photo`s tonight.The photographer has managed to yank herself back from the Big Apple after nearly 3 weeks.(she said it was fantastic and didn`t wanna come home,poor lass.)
So,as i`m hopeless,i`ll have to drag someone in tomorrow to show me how to put them all onto the computer so i can show them to you all.(if you don`t mind, that is?)
I have taken a few snaps but this is the best i can manage for now....

 

I know this is the wrong place but maybe you`ll forgive me? :D

 

I know i`ve got the flash in them but i think you get the picture.

 

congratulations MR and MRS FIZ wishing you evey happiness for your future together xxx , looking forward to seeing more photo`s ( pretty please)

 

Thank`s for asking LoL.Dfordog and little Milly have survived our absence(we had a sitter) although they have been like my shadow since we got back.He is still very confused and barks at everything that moves and Her Ladyship is still as fat as a pig. :D

Can you remember me telling you about my cuz who was run down and broke nearly every bone in her body including 2 vertabrae in her neck?.
Well in the pic with the confetti,this is she, at the bottom of the steps on the left with the silver and black vest top and the 2 sticks.
She`s not out of the woods yet and has been ill with a blood clot on her lung and is currently back in hospital with problems with her pelvis.
But, miracle of miracles, she is walking and talking-(God above, we can`t shut her up!) although she did have to hitch a ride with me and mr.fiz in the limo after the church to the reception as she was a bit knackered.

 

Lovely photos, elainefiz. Yu are a beautiful bride and your dress is wonderful with that train. Thank you for allowing us into your private world.

Pleased the furry critters were fine and that your cousin is improving somewhat and hope that continues.

 

Thanks for sharing your pics elaine and look forward to seeing more!
Best wishes to both
