Erysimum 'Bowles Mauve' Lovelky thing, easy to make more from cuttings

Conserving wildlife

What a lovely find Cucamelon. You need to recreate what was there but with plants you want instead of weeds. The slow worms will be quite happy if that's veg. We use meter square pieces of black corrugated roofing sheet, a couple of those ina sunny spot will attract them as warming up places. Never seen a slow worm under ours yet but the grass snakes like it.

They don't eat the vegetation, they'll eat some of your pests if you're lucky.

Good Evening FORKERS

There have to be some benefits from all this cold. It's only 5C outside now and I expect it will drop further. 

Evergreen Clematis

Just a baby Quercus. if it doesn't rise from the ashes soon it's a gonna. Too long ago to remember now but mine may have had some easy winters getting established. . A winter ago we had -15C and it was in a poor state at the end of it. I cut it right back and it regrew, a shadow of it's former self. Suffered a bit this winter but nothing like as much. 

What is it?

Better for eating though

Evergreen Clematis

Mine's in very stiff soil, impoverished by the catalpa. Not surprised it doesn't do well

Good Evening FORKERS

Too much warmth B-L. Mine were sown in January in a cold GH, germinated in March. Give them a chilling in the fridge for some weeks and then outside in a cool palce and see what happens.

Most of the Ranunculaceae are cold germinators. penstemons like a bit more warmth. I sow those in the cold GH about end March (ish)

Lobelia Cardinalis grown from seed

If it looks healthy it will get there eventually. Some of my perennials are tiny.
