I put a couple of bit of fuchsia in water last Saturday, they have already made roots.

Strangely enough, although not many daffs are out yet, I do have a few tulips, probably because I didn't plant them so deep.

I am an extrovert and an optimist,  weird sense of humour, just like using my real name.

Weeds from next door

I never have any trouble like that from the owner of the field around us,  he has been more than generous. He keeps the field spotless, he is organic so no weed killer spraying around, lovely smell of dung though.

He does leave wildlife edges, but the seeds dont seem to spread into the garden. Ground elder is the worst thing here.

Maybe T&M are taking the advise of the RHS who have gone off the idea of planting in the green because of root disturbance, they transplant theirs now when they are dormant. Did anyone see that on Nations favourite blooms?

I dont know anything about growing potatoes so wont comment, but I did see an article in a mag were they were blaming diy growers on spreading potato deseases. 

I agree with Dove about UK grown potatoes, I wont buy any that are not grown in the UK, except the Jersey royals. 

There are a lot of potatoes grown in Cornwall and I buy those whenever I can.

I wasn't in a rush to get started though, my seeds are only just going in , in fact lots haven't gone in yet, I just went by the magazine, I expect he has got unheated greenhouse to plant then in. Fortunately, I have Ferline and Shirley just coming up.
