It's always great to be able to tell people that 'oh yes...that...grew it from seed last year." NB: - Thompson & Morgan generally do an annual 'bulk' deal on Allium Hollandicum (Purple Sensation bulbs) - they return beautifully every year - great value!<br />akhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744011665584141409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-90798230150217953002014-10-08T08:20:19.353+01:002014-10-08T08:20:19.353+01:00Lindsey Messenger on FB

I just can't stop myself, my worry is that I can't pass them on, because I can't keep them because I need to buy new plants to see what I can do with them! My friend says she will clean my house because she loves it, me I would always be gardening in my own little way. I should add that on the Taylor side of the family tree they were all market gardeners around the Boston area, the home of veg :O) If you watched Country file on Sunday xxx<br />akhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744011665584141409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-68142867104469682082014-10-08T08:15:29.635+01:002014-10-08T08:15:29.635+01:00Andrew Height

I lined the greenhouse with bubble wrap, well half of it, the roof to do this weekend. I too then moved all pelargonius to the safety, hopefully of said greenhouse, along with any other plant that needs some Winter TLC. This year I am experimenting in layered bulb planting, in theory it should go narcissus (Sainsburies white ones), tulips (Wilkinsons), hyacynth (mail order, well you got 50 free dwarf narcissus with every order) and topped off with a variety of violas, my local family run garden centre has a loyalty scheme, so it was buy 3 packs and get one free. I still have my alliums to plant, a bit late I know but hopefully they will be OK and again it was buy a pack of 7 purple sensation and get 7 white ones free. Can't wait to see what happens, the thought of Spring gets me through the miserable darkness of Winter, I too will think of tax returns later when there is no excuse to go out in the garden XXXX<br />akhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744011665584141409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391010622090130583.post-60626916518496683892014-10-08T08:11:55.320+01:002014-10-08T08:11:55.320+01:00Andrew Height
