Blue Peter Moment! Reusing bottles

i do, i have also used old milk 4 pint bottles and kept the handle on and cut the front off and hung my strawberrys in them 

dahlia cuttings

i may not be the best person to give advice on dahlias as its my first yr growing them also, but from the videos and infomation i have read is that when taking a cutting it needs to have an eye ( a small connection to the parent tuber)

so when taking a cutting take it as close to the tuber as you can ,also trim the excess leaves off apart from the  top leaves and keep watered , fingers crossed for you guys and myself

Seed Sowing

currently on my window sills i have several types of dahlias all sprouting ( couldnt wait to plant them so they went by the windows ) violas ,too tiny to pot on, honesty seeds coming up, petunia seeds, zinnias ( 3rd time of trying they just kept getting weak and falling over and dying ) alyssum seeds ,brompton stock 

i have no more space so weather please warm up, im in surrey and snow is expected this weekend so i wont hope too much 

honeysuckle???

Hello alice , they can do a bit of both, ive grown mine in my back garden its in shade for the most of the winter and it does get some sun in the summer and its never not bloomed ,just a little trim now and again .good luck

edible non poisenous plants/bushes

Hello everybody. ill start from the top i work with disabled children and what im after is a list of plants bushes that could be eaten or just not poisenous (because it will certainly be tried) . Also if they could have great scent that would be great. Heres what ive thought so far .chives . garlic.mint .lavender. Rosemary.nasturtiums. something in my brain is saying violas would be ok too but i could well be making it up. ps you are really helping me as i could troll the net but whats wrong with the personal touch. thank you kerri
