rosietu,your coriander looks fab.i tried some in a pot this year and stupidly left it where my dogs could pee on it.needless to say none was eaten but i did get flowers.

 

Bottlebrush tree looking good this year.
The Coriander was purchased for a receipe, then I put it in the garden out of the way of my boys am wondering if I will get the seeds to dry smells lovely.

 

Fantastic picture, Rosietu. You should have entered it in the July photo comp!

Fabulous blousy colours.
Not often seen on GC....A super generous plant.
Generaly disease and pest resistant.
Needs very little water.
Good for boarders,pots,baskets etc.
An all round good egg.

Smashing roders Love the water can planter
Wish I could grow 'em...can't because I get a rash on my hands from them :(

 

Love them, Roders. Had over 50 species in my little conservatory in Bucks - t'other half couldn't stand the smell! :D :D The hardy-ish ones are the cane variety, but only then if you're in a very, very mild situation, protected from frost. In saying that, they take frost here! I cannot grow the general species here as it is TOOOO hot and dry! My best ones are the ones in the shady borders getting a wee bit of morning and evening sun only ... even the garden centres / nurseries have them under cover!

Enjoy yours for me too

 

I did say they were pest resistant....... :D :D

 

Yes, you did, but I have this problem with papery leaves ... must get all my Geranium books out ... unless you know the answer straight away. I think it's some kind of critter.

 

O roders... Ouch!... :D :D
