What's looking good in April

Pete that particular one I kept growing all winter in my leanto g/house I moved about 2dozen last years cuttings and this one into the polytunnel 3weeks ago, initially I built another smaller tunnel in the polytunnel because I couldn't afford to heat the whole tunnel all this had in it was a 60watt tube heater this was enough to keep the temp 5oc higher than the rest of the tunnel. the inner tunnel is now dismantled and if the temp. is due to fall I cover everything with fleece just hoping we don't have a real cold spell, day time temps are very high managing to keep it below 30oc at the moment with side and door vents and a 18"fan, in a couple of weeks Iwill risk them outside

 

How do I put my pictures in here?

 

Thanks walnut, do you not have red spider troubles?
Tropical Oasis, you post pics here in the same way as other places on the site, i thought I'd seen some pics from you elsewhere.

 

Coelogyne Cristata

 

:D :D

 

Pete up to now no redspider I keep them sprayed they like the dampness the redspider doesn't in fact I installed a spray system down one side of my polytunnel I connected the hose outside and it gives a fine sray, the only thing that give problems occasionally is greenfly I use a systemic and the odd caterpillar pick off by hand

 

Hope you never get them Walnut, they are my biggest and costliest problem.

 

I have had these two Camelias in pots for about 12 years, I re-pot them every few years.

 

Rockery Raver...Lobelia.

 

These little self set beauties have been flowering since Febuary. Virginia stock. Oh by the way Shirley poppies are also out did any one have any luck with the seeds I sent?

 

They are in there somewhere Rosietu!! :D

 

Beautiful Aqualeiga - ours aren't out yet. We have similar tulips too - they are stunning! Fabulous shots!
