    just wanted to show off some of my plants from this year, the lillies were bought so I guess thats cheating but they do look lovely! the foxgloves were grown from seed last year and i've had about 10 of them looking lovely. I've also got a great fuschia cutting I took last year and wintered through, I actually took 6 and this was the last plant standing, and now its flowering in the garden, unfortunately I cant find the picture!! I seem to be having more luck with plants than in the veg plot!!!

    Here's one small group of our foxgloves although I must stress the photo was taken a few weeks ago, I have been able to collect some seed pods already and boy are there plenty more to go at. The picture below is from our side garden and is along the border we are taking up and putting a decking walk along the hedge so cutting the hedge will no longer be such a chore...if you get my meaning?

    The hedge behind the flowers is 6 foot high so it gives you an idea of the size of these plants!Hel.xxx.

    Sandra if you get some seeds (from me if you like because I'll have plenty to give away) and sow them straight away the plants will grow this year and flower next year just like these ones did and no extra care is needed. I still can't figure out how these lovely plants can hold up ther flower heads all by theirselves! Hel.xxx.

    cheers
