    Not sure tbh CG. My main aim would be to just aim to keep them frost free.

          Not seeds but cuttings....

          To my delight I spotted fuschia magellanica alba in the GC last week, so one came home with me. I've long wanted one after seeing it in a garden in the village. It was far too leggy and tender to plant out yet ( my red F. magellanica is only just showing shoots), so I've put it under a cloche in its pot after nipping off all the longer shoots. These are now in a pot and hopefully will root. Seven new fuscias out of the price of one!

                Loads of assorted tagetes and mina lobata, all old seeds so crossing fingers crossed for some germination!
                Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

                      Today I have sowed nicotiana sylvestris and thunberigia superstar orange and golden eyes, a bit late for the thunbergia but I am hoping they will play catch up

                              Sowed some pre soaked heavenly blue ipomoea (have more old seeds soaking today) and new tagetes lemon gem as the last lot of old seeds have failed to germinate. One more round of sunflowers to do mid month ish and that's all my flowers for this year done (I think)...

                                Potted up the presoaked very old ipomoea cameo elegance, split personality and lots and lots of heavenly blue, way too many! Be just my luck if every single one of them comes up!
