They do tend to all mix up together and over time I weed out the dirty pinks.

Hi Rich

I think they'll need some sun as well as muck

Good idea. I'm hoping to collect from some really dark hellebores this year. and some little tight very dark aquilegias

What do I need to do to get mine flowering Brumball? They have the odd flowering year but mostly leaves.

Hi Kate

i'd hold off with the chemicals. Too early for round up, it needs growing leaves to work on. Chemicals that kill baddies fill goodies as well. See what you've got before you kill it.

Bags of B&Q horse maure should be fine, they'll add some bulk. Not sure about the polythene, I'd be inclined to leave for weather to work on but others may have other ideas. It's a late spring, you've done well to get started.

I think est sown fresh but people on this forum have talked about successful spring sowing. I sow my own seed fresh and bought seed around midwinter. I try to sow as nature does. When seeds are dropping I collect and sow.

I get things all year as well. The aquilegias and hellebores (and other) are best swapped and sown fresh.

Has everyone done with seed swaping now, I expect everyone's all planted up.
Same time next year then folks.

No I haven't Lyn, about to start my spring sowings as soon as the temperature rises.

But I'll find the thread there somewhere if it sinks into oblivion

Air rifle pretty efficient if you don't like noise.

Alternatives to lavender

The shadyness is more of a problem to lavender than the wind.

Are you looking for something about the same height as lavender? The evrgreen euonymus is easy going, cheap if you need several, can be clipped or not. Falls down on flowers (insignificant) and scent (never noticed any). Box, same. The scented shrubs like lavender and rosemary are sun lovers.
