Oh dear, am I too late? Took longer to arrive than I thought.Wanted to wear a really glamourous dress, but my figure is not what it used to be, unfortunately.

Front garden very uninteresting

Nandina grows around here and we have limestone, but it likes a bit of sun. Not for the upright tall bit though.

Seeds are up

19 tomatoes up now, Sungold, Gardener's Delight and Dona. 4 more French marigolds have joined the first 2. Bought new packet, but won't sow yet - cold spell.

Where is everybody from...

It was lovely to read about your garden Verdun, and I enjoyed the photos you sent before. It was beautiful.

I'm trying to grow an English country garden in Dordogne, but the winters are cold and the summers are very hot. Sometimes there is a lot of rain and other times there's a drought, so it's not always easy! It all needs watering in summer and then there are water restrictions!

I grow perennials, with annuals in the gaps and in pots, with a background of roses and shrubs. Had a lot of bother with deer eating everything a couple of years ago and OH fenced the main flower garden. I grow veg too, OH had to fence that as well. It's about 23m x 10m, but some is fallow as it's too big for two of us now.

My house and garden are in a clearing in a forest.

Talkback: How to grow summer bedding from seed

I think you probably sowed them a little early and there still isn't enough light. Pinch them out when they get another set of leaves. Still plenty of time to sow more, days are lengthening now.

What's the weather like in your area?

- 4° and sunny at 8am. Greenhouse thermometer said it had been to -5°, but it's on the bottom bench and the heater and electric propogaters are on the top bench. The 19 germinated tomatoes look OK though.

That's funny, when I last looked Bunny said she was sitting with her glass ready so I told her to put her glass down! Now that remark has gone and it's a different one. Perhaps she edited it and changed it.

Where is everybody from...

Huntertony, if people put it on their profiles then all you need do is click on their names and you can see where they are from. Anyone from Tower Hamlets lives abroad, but if those people write a bit about themselves, as I have, then you can see where they are too.
