Scabious
So round 2… I planted my original scabious in the Autumn… in my experience not a good plan… they all died and it was fairly tragic – they germinated great rate – one day they were doing so well – then just meh – all dead – So will see how I go with these…I’ve just sown 12 – 2 per pot these are Johnsons seeds (I think they jumped literally into the shopping trolley while doing the food shopping the other day… Ummm funny that) – They were £2 and approx 50 seeds – I am hoping to succession sow – loads of tutorials out there with advise I…

Mid March update
So mid March – how’s it all going out there? I am trying not to get overwhelmed by what I have sown already and where I am going to put them all… I have decided (after much deliberation… and discussion and stress ) that I am going to grow most of my seeds babies up into pots – we decided that this actually is going to work much better for me this year giving me versatility.

So I have Birds of a Feather – they should be Creme Brulee Cherry Caramel Isabellina And Phlox of…

March Hello
So, sow, sew… All together now – March is here – I always find the end the month and beginning of a new one a little strange and especially during this year of COVID (yes I know we all want out of this state we are in but for me just rushing the seasons / months / festivals doesn’t help) as I am a worrier and I want time to slow down not speed up and new months tend to make me stress as I see more the time is flying by- I know look forward but… hey we are who we are. As I said I am natural stresser…
