Morning Geoff, you seem more like your old self today

What is it with some of the chaps on this Board? Spring sap rising and no chance to get out in the garden and burn off some testosterone? It's what Ma used to call 'a case of too many cocks on one muck heap'.

Can I make a suggestion - let's either have a vote on who's the chief cock, or agree to leave each other alone?

Repeated childish behaviour is getting tedious.

Hi, I know we used to call these geraniums, but nowadays they're pelargoniums - that might help you in your searches

They are frost tender so need to be overwintered indoors in frost-free place, or my granny used to dry them off and put them in their pots in cardboard boxes under the bedi n the spare room.

Here's a delightful video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58vEb75lzuc . It's not the most detailed, but I'm sure it shows you all you need to take your cuttings, and it is charming - I love his shed

Why I never buy online

And with small independent nurseries, online is the only way they can compete with the huge chains of Garden Centres.

It does seem that in many fields of business, online sales are the saviour of the small independent retailers.

Hosta's

I remember seeing that when it broadcast - thanks for putting the link up Brumbull

I always take the flowering stems off my hostas so they concentrate energy on bulking up the plants (not that I'm a hosta expert like some ).
