This wonderful big flowered Dahlia was grown from a seed by Jenny. It has bloomed it's socks off and they last for ages. It's growing in a pot set into the border.  |

I bet she wishes she kept it too Ladygardener, it's gorgeous  It looks to be a good size so hopefully even though it was from seed this year, you'll have a big enough tuber to save for next year. |

Thanks very much Jilly. I was chatting to Jenny and she said no, it was a little tuber and not grown from seed so it should over winter ok for me, at least I hope it does. |

I was'nt sure where to post this but it has taken all year to grow so it deserves a place somewhere. smile Gazania Sunshine Mix from seeds this year. They don't like the climate here at all. So easy to copy and paste from fb. wink  |

Lovely Ladygardener, and well done you for getting them going from seed, I love them & usually manage to get a reduced box of them somewhere in the summer, but mine did get a bit nibbled this year. |

Thanks very much Jilly mine got nibbled too and I did find them very difficult to grow. Of all the seeds I sowed, this one and perhaps one more which has'nt flowered are all I have to show for them. I'm going to bring it under cover/out back for the winter and try to keep it going. |

Love the colours and grew some this year as well after years of trying and getting nothing - I read a tip somewhere that said to put the seeds in the fridge for a week and then sow them - I did and I got 100% germination...

Ta da - it's working this morning! It's amazing what keeps going even though the nights are quite cold now...although your litle garden seems to be a shade warmer than most! |

It's fairly well sheltered up to a point Jasmine. Once things grow above the wall, the wind gets at them. |

I rescued a pot of roses from Sainsbos a few weeks ago, but I cut all the old buds off as it wasn't happy to start with. There are four plants in the pot which will get separated & planted out when it is warm enough. It has sent up fresh buds and one has opened, lovely scent and stunning colour of flower which fades to peach & golden yellow as it matures  |

Lovely colour combinations there theinsidegardener, together with the Hebe and anemone as well. I took a couple of close ups of the Berberis Darwinii on the allotment today. The colour is so vibrant. It looks more yellow in the photos, but it is definitely orange.   |

The berberis is lovely bagpuss, what a gorgeous colour. I only bought a berberis (Rose Raket) for the first time this year but I'm really impressed, It really brightens up the garden. |

I've just looked up that Berberis theinsidegardener,. It looks very nice indeed and by the sounds of it should provide a lot of interest throughout the year. Good choice. |
