Seed Sowing

Ow hello again.

Well I had to rescue some seedlings I had put out in the greenhouse too early but alls not bad

I have plenty of Nasturtiums putting on their first true leaves

A few seashell cosmos

Gazania

Zinnia

Busy Lizzies

Mirabilis

Dwarf Dahlias

Parsley

Sage

Coriander

Stocks

I also started more on Sunday as I lost some due to the cold weather. Hoping they put on some good growth over the next 4-6 weeks now

Stupid weather!

The picture you posted are of Homebase bedding plants. (I know as I work in the garden centre there :P )

Those particular varieties are very hardy, Ive had them in the garden centre for approx 2 weeks and I just cover them before I leave the store with frost fleecing.

Havent lost 1 pack yet!

Although I would still be cautious planting them yet as the ground is still so cold.

Wait til the weekend at least when its due to warm up a bit then if any frosts are due after that just cover them up

Mytsery Plant

I wonder how it managed to pop up outside my house :P

It is literally growing from underneath it. I'll go see if it pops up again once the weather has warmed up

Mytsery Plant

Hi all, I found this growing at the side of my house around the start of April last year.

I was thinking it might be a rose but wouldnt that be too early?

Anyone have an idea of what it is?

I took the photo on April 1st 2012

I can't even grow from seed!!!!!!!

I sow into single modules and keep them on a south facing window. I spray them twice a day, once before work and then again after work. I always have pretty good results as long as I turn the trays regularly.

Strawberries

If the plants are more than 3 years old I would suggest either buying new plants or using the runners from the current ones to create new plants.

Strawberry Plants tend to become more prone to disease and produce less fruit after 3 years.

Clematis

A good thing to do would be to shave a bit of the stem about half way up the plant, if its green then the plant is healthy and just giving it a good mulch at the base of the plant will help tremendously. Clematis love being Hot at the Top and Shaded/Damp underneath.

Sprinkling a good dose of bonemeal around the base will help a lot also.

jasmine

I have 1 planted in the garden. The smell is amazing

Has spring arrived for you yet?

Here in south wales snowdrops,iris and crocus have come and gone.

Daffs have just appeared around the town. Most of the flowers are still hiding though.

Alliums and Fritillaries popping up, Clematis and Honeysuckles coming into leaf.

Spring has started slowly and its still pretty cold in the night times

Spring is here and so are the slugs!
