What are we doing in the garden 2024

Here's a video that might help Brennabee.

 

After collecting the seeds from our foxgloves I do tend to sow some in early Autumn and once they have germinated( not many weeks), they get potted on a couple of times ( when roots appear underneath pot) at which point I leave them in the greenhouse or the cold frames over winter. There is no point planting them out in the ground where we live( not far from you @ArmyAirForce ) as they just wither and rot away. Others may say different however, so just saying what I tend to do here. I have sown seeds later than this though and have had no problem with germination.
I have never seem them get greenfly though at this time of the year before which is why I was surprised to see them today.
Out of interest, our foxgloves did not go to seed until well into mid- late summer. I never direct sow them either here. Don’t grow lupins so can’t offer any advise on them I’m afraid.

 

Clearly he wanted to have his crap in comfort out of the rain.

 

Just did some Cosmos deadheading today. Some of them are as tall as me and I've had to stake them as the constant rain was battering them flat.

I've got lots of bulbs that want planting. Camassias arrived at the weekend and cyclamen today. I've still got daffodils, tulips and muscari to put in pots, and I've just ordered more tulips for the front garden - inspired by the recent Gardeners World episode I'm getting Ballerina and Tulipa praestans 'Shogun'.
