Re: Bulbs in cardboard tubes

Welcome to the forum from me too, Pebbles.
I agree with, Westi, they should be fine in cardboard tubes.
No question, is a daft question on here…..so ask away.

Re: 2024 season begins

Another good little video, Burnie…..Cook walked through an said, “Burnie is back then”.🙂
May I wish you well with your Hospital session, Burnie.
Slugs and snails are out in full force at the moment, never known quite as many….

A good job done, Retropants……slugs and snails are being a real pain here too….made an awful mess of the Dahlia shoots!

Re: Late Winter Bits and Bobs.

Good morning, Geoff, how are the seed sown Verbena doing?

I didn’t get very good germination, (only 12 germinated from the packet) but they about 9’’ 25cm tall now, so ready to go into the 2 litre pots and will then be well in flower for the Church fete at the end of June!

Re: Early Summer Bits and Bobs.

Got the Helichrysum in late this afternoon, so that’s another good job out of the way!
Want to get some more Charlotte planted tomorrow and also more Brassica’s.

Re: Early Summer Bits and Bobs.

I used to grow a type of Poppy called, “Hen and Chickens” for the dried seed heads.
And a Nigella called, Transformer, also for the dried seed heads.
