Do just a little bit, Auricula - nearest the house so you see your progress. Go on! You'll feel better once you've started on it.  |

If you look closely Auricula, you'll see some signs of new growth I'm sure.  |

Nope...just death and destruction.....and it's now raining again  Not even a sign of any spring bulbs which I find quite odd - I have crocus,snowdrops,daffs and tulips planted, but not so much as a shoot tip  |

I can't believe that - I found the first snowdrop in flower today! Sorry you had rain - no point in trying to garden in that.  |

Perhaps yours need another couple of weeks Auricula, then they'll romp away.The 1st snowdrop deserves a pic Geranium.

Grumpy is the name of the little snowdrop Auricula it's on Jasmine's avitar. If you look closely you can see a little grumpy face. ;D

Came home this morning to find this months GW on the door mat.
I bought Garden News while I was out. I can't find your article Isabella - are you in next week or am I not looking carefully enough?
Got lots to read anyway!

My Feb editon just came through the letterbox. Free tomato seeds, I wish they would send something different.

Consider yourself lucky LG - in Germany you never get free "anything" in any magazine....a sachet of Dove lotion perhaps now and again but never free seeds....they don't even reduce them here - just bin them - same as reducing plants...they would rather throw them away.

Sorry - I missed your post LG - it was the February one. Why oh why do we get lettuce and tomatoes like you say. And to make it almost funny I have enough Gardeners Delight for the whole of East Sussex to grow tomatoes...hope they don't send school more this year  We had a GC like that close by RF but slowly they have begun to make a reduced corner. |

Post by Jilly on Jan 22, 2011 10:58:02 GMT
Mine arrived this morning, with the free Gardeners Delight seeds, now I like Gardeners Delight but I only grow about 4 plants a year & like you Jasmine I could probably supply a small county by now. I was going to ask you if you wanted them for school, guess that's a no then i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/grin.gif Still at least the lettuce will be useful as cut & come again.

What would be helpful if the magazines ran a survey of some sort to ask their readers what seeds they'd like - but it probably wouldn't work. We're all so different.  |

Gardens Illustrated arrived this morning. There's some interesting articles in it - 100 must-have garden plants chosen by the likes of Carol Klein, Roy Lancaster etc... and features on hellebores and snowdrops amongst other things.

I don't think I've ever seen that one - I'm assuming it's a monthly one, is it?
