Good morning  yes we've had frost overnight too, and a sprinkling of white powdery stuff, but it's gone now and there's bright sunshine streaming in through the windows.  Primroses and violets are out, but everything else is keeping it's head down.

Burning Bush

Posted: 21/03/2013 at 06:46

We used to call Dictamnus Alatus the Burning Bush; I've also heard it used to refer to Bassia Scoparia.  Thank goodness for Latin names 

I've never heard it used to refer to  Euonymus Alatus but having googled I've found it referred to as a hedging plant.  I'm surprised - I would have thought that to treat it as a hedge would be to lose it's best features which are it's elegant form and the colour of the autumn foliage which is at it's best with the low autumn sunlight shining through it.  I also don't want to be discouraging, but I'd have thought you'd have to wait several years for any sort of a hedge if growing it from seed. 

good deal on cold frame???

I've bought from that site before - I bought some wooden compost bins - they arrived when they said they would and were well packaged etc.  I thought the quality and the price was reasonable compared with other suppliers.

 I do get bombarded with marketing emails from them, but I could stop them if I chose to.
